Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing network that generates new ways to gain money on the Web. One of these opportunities is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end customers, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is a growing business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name contains 2 parts - a top-level domain name (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 name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most common domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs are composed of 2-character abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that manages the registrations and sets the preconditions that each concrete TLD may have, such as the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and handle all DNS resource records.

Make Cash From Selling Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain profit from offering domain names to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can kickstart your very own Internet business. Normally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more users in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means 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 customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Trade TLDs Under Your Very Own Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will have a webspace hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer billing management software and web site skins for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire process together with the enlarging demand for domains render the domain reseller market so tempting. You will either receive a pre-made site and make use of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own website and order form. Commonly, you have the opportunity to choose between the two options, so it all depends on how accomplished you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your very own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Revenue From Reselling Web Page Hosting Accounts As Well

An appropriate supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to persons who would like to set up their web site and demand both a domain name and a web space hosting account. A few companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost billing management software to charge your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting packages to clients, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
