Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing community that provides new ways to gain money online. One of these possibilities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end users, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every 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 an enlarging marketing niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain comprises 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 second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most conventional domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains contain two-character abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the preconditions that each given TLD may impose, including the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and administer all DNS records.

Earn Revenue From Offering Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to make cash from selling domains to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can start your very own web business. Regularly, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more customers in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Sell Domains On Behalf Of Your Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will receive a webspace hosting CP where you can select the prices for the various top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide billing management software and website skins for your online store, and the automation of the entire process combined with the towering demand for domain names render the domain reseller market so attractive. You will either receive a pre-built web site and use the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own personal web page and order form. Generally, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your very own trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Revenue From Promoting Webspace Hosting Services As Well

A good addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to people who would like to develop their website and require both a domain and a website hosting package. A few companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free billing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide many different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the globe.
