Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing system that furnishes new options to earn cash on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to become a domain reseller and offer domains to end customers, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is a thriving trading niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain is made of two entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most common domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains include 2-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and determines the requirements that each particular TLD may contain, including the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to clients and administer all DNS resource records.

Make Revenue From Offering Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn revenue from offering domains to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can establish your very own personal Internet business. Regularly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more persons in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Trade Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Own Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a webspace hosting CP where you can select the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer billing software and web design skins for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole process together with the big demand for domain names render the domain name reseller market niche so tempting. You will either have a ready-to-use site and use the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal site and order form. Typically, you have the option to decide between the two options, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Profit From Providing Webspace Hosting Accounts Too

A perfect supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to persons who would like to launch their site and need both a domain and a hosting package. A few corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and cost-free billing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the world.
