Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing system that furnishes new options to earn money on the Web. One of them is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is a growing trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name is composed of 2 components - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD 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 Domains include the most famous domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs are composed of 2-letter abbreviations that signify 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 or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete TLD may have, among them the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to customers and administer all DNS resource records.

Make Profit From Reselling Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain cash from selling domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can establish your own e-business. As a rule, a domain will be cheaper 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 users in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Resell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will obtain a website hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoicing transaction software and design themes for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the large demand for domains render the domain reseller business so tempting. You will either get a ready-to-use site and use the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own web site and order form. Normally, you have the option to select between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will do business on behalf of your own brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Promoting Web Page Hosting Solutions Too

An appropriate addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to customers who desire to have their web page and demand both a domain name and a website hosting package. Given corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoicing software to bill your customers. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared hosting plans to customers, and since they provide lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to people from all over the globe.
