Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing system that supplies new possibilities to earn money on the Web. One of these possibilities is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is a flourishing marketing niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most famous domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs contain two-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and determines the requirements that each given TLD may involve, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all DNS resource records.

Gain Cash From Selling Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to make money from offering domain names to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can initiate your own web business. Regularly, 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 user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more persons in regional communities or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Trade Domains Under Your Own Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will get a web space hosting CP where you can set the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoice software and themes for your web shop, and the automation of the entire process together with the towering demand for domains make the domain name reseller business so alluring. You will either acquire a pre-built site and use the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal site and order form. Normally, you have the option to choose between the two options, so it all depends on how advanced you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your personal brand and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Profit From Selling Web Page Hosting Solutions Too

A sensible supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to users who would like to manage their web portal and need both a domain name and a webspace hosting package. A number of corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoice software to bill your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the globe.
