Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing community that generates new ways to make cash on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are millions of currently active domain names, so this is a blossoming business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name is made of two parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most widely used domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs are composed of 2-character abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each particular top-level domain name may impose, including the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to customers and administer all domain name resource records.

Make Money From Reselling Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to gain revenue from selling domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can begin your very own e-business. Regularly, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more people in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Resell TLDs Under Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a website hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer billing software and web design layouts for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole process combined with the immense demand for domain names make the domain reseller business so seductive. You will either acquire a ready-made website and use the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal site and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to decide between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how skillful you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your own brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Profit From Supplying Web Page Hosting Services As Well

A sensible supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to people who desire to develop their web site and require both a domain name and a hosting plan. Particular companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoice transaction software to bill your clients. You can then offer domains and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to clients from all over the globe.
