Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing community that offers new opportunities to earn money on the Internet. One of these ways is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end clients, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is a growing marketing niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain is made of 2 entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most widely used domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names comprise 2-character abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete top-level domain name may include, among them the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to clients and administer all domain name records.

Make Money From Trading Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make revenue from offering domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your own electronic business. Commonly, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more people in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Sell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer billing software and web themes for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the high demand for domain names render the domain name reseller business so desirable. You will either get a ready-made site and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal web portal and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how expert you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Providing Hosting Accounts As Well

An appropriate addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to clients who would like to create their website and demand both a domain and a website hosting package. A few firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free invoicing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell TLDs and shared web hosting packages to clients, and since they offer many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
