Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-enlarging network that delivers new ways to gain money on the Internet. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end customers, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is a growing marketing niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name consists of 2 pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most popular domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs involve 2-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Instances 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 ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and determines the preconditions that each specific top-level domain name may involve, like the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to customers and handle all domain resource records.

Earn Money From Trading Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain cash from selling domains to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can build your very own personal online business. Usually, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can contact more persons in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Resell Domains Under Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a web space hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer invoicing transaction software and site templates for your web shop, and the automation of the entire process together with the flourishing demand for domain names make the domain reseller market so attractive. You will either have a turn-key website and use the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal web portal and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the option to select between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how expert you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Cash From Promoting Webspace Hosting Packages Too

A nice supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to individuals who would like to have their web site and need both a domain and a hosting package. Given corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and cost-free invoicing software to bill your clients. You can then offer domain names and shared hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to people from all around the globe.
