Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing network that furnishes new possibilities to gain money on the Internet. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and sell domains to end clients, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is a blooming business niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most popular domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains comprise two-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each particular TLD may impose, including the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain name records.

Earn Profit From Trading Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to earn money from offering domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can build your own e-business. Commonly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can reach more persons in areas or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Offer Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will obtain a web site hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer invoicing software and site layouts for your web shop, and the automation of the whole process combined with the enormous demand for domain names make the domain reseller industry so attractive. You will either get a ready-made website and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own personal web site and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 options, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your very own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Money From Selling Web Page Hosting Services Too

An excellent addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to people who desire to establish their online portal and require both a domain and a web page hosting account. Certain companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free billing management software to bill your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting plans to customers, and since they offer a lot of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to people from all over the world.
