Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing community that supplies new opportunities to gain money on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is an expanding business niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain involves 2 entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most famous domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names consist of 2-character abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and sets the preconditions that each specific TLD may have, among them the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and manage all domain name records.

Earn Cash From Selling Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain profit from offering domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can initiate your own personal web business. Usually, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more people in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit 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.

Resell Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will get a site hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide billing transaction software and web site layouts for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole process together with the vast demand for domain names render the domain name reseller business niche so seductive. You will either receive a pre-developed web site and make use of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own personal site and order form. Generally, you have the option to decide between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how skilled you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your personal brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Profit From Reselling Site Hosting Services As Well

A suitable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to clients who would like to develop their web page and require both a domain and a website hosting package. Some firms supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free billing software to bill your customers. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to clients from all around the world.
