Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing platform that provides new possibilities to earn money on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end customers, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is a blossoming business niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name involves 2 components - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most popular domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names contain two-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and determines the requirements that each given top-level domain name may involve, among them the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all DNS resource records.

Gain Money From Trading Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain revenue from selling domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can begin your very own personal web business. Commonly, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can contact more users in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Trade Domain Names Under Your Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will get a site hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide invoice management software and web site layouts for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the flourishing demand for domains render the domain name reseller market niche so desirable. You will either have a pre-made web site and use the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own online portal and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the opportunity to pick between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your own personal brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Cash From Trading Web Page Hosting Plans Too

An adequate supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to clients who want to set up their online portal and demand both a domain name and a web space hosting package. A number of corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge billing software to bill your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to people from all around the globe.
