Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing platform that furnishes new ways to earn cash on the Internet. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end customers, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is a thriving marketing niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name comprises two parts - 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 SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most famous domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs are composed of two-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and sets the requirements that each given top-level domain name may involve, like the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to customers and administer all domain records.

Gain Money From Reselling Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain revenue from offering domains to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can build your own e-business. Normally, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more persons in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Trade Domain Names Under Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a site hosting Control Panel where you can set the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide billing transaction software and design skins for your web store, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the rising demand for domains render the domain reseller market so tempting. You will either acquire a pre-developed web site and make use of the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own site and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Revenue From Providing Web Site Hosting Accounts Too

A good supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to people who want to make their web portal and need both a domain name and a site hosting plan. Certain corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free billing software to charge your customers. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared web hosting packages to clients, and since they offer plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the world.
