Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing network that supplies new opportunities to gain money on the Web. One of these possibilities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end clients, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is a blooming business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name involves 2 entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (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 generic top-level domain names comprise the most widely used domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs are made of 2-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a gTLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete top-level domain name may contain, including the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain name records.

Gain Money From Trading Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to earn profit from selling domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can establish your very own personal electronic business. Commonly, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can contact more users in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains Under Your Very Own Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will get a CP where you can fix the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer invoicing transaction software and web layouts for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the immense demand for domain names render the domain reseller business so alluring. You will either obtain a pre-made website and make use of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own portal and order form. Traditionally, you have the option to select between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will operate under your own personal brand and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Profit From Supplying Web Hosting Solutions Too

An appropriate supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to clients who want to create their web portal and need both a domain and a website hosting account. Certain companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoice software to bill your customers. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to clients from all around the world.
