Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing system that furnishes new possibilities to make cash online. One of these ways is to become a domain reseller and offer domains to end users, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is a developing trading niche that you can become a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name contains two constituents - 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 Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most popular domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs contain 2-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, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each particular TLD may impose, including the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all DNS resource records.

Gain Profit From Trading Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make money from offering domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kick off your own 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 client. The reason is that resellers can reach more persons in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize 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.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Brand

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will receive a web hosting CP where you can select the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoicing transaction software and website templates for your virtual shop, and the automation of the entire process together with the high demand for domain names make the domain reseller market niche so seductive. You will either have a turn-key site and utilize the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own online portal and order form. Generally, you have the opportunity to decide between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your personal brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Revenue From Providing Website Hosting Services As Well

A proper addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thus, you can give a package deal to users who want to develop their website and demand both a domain and a web site hosting account. Certain corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free invoice management software to bill your customers. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to clients from all over the globe.
