Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing platform that offers new possibilities to make money on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end users, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is an increasing trading niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most common domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names are made of two-character abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that manages the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each particular TLD may entail, including the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to clients and administer all domain name resource records.

Gain Revenue From Offering Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain revenue from offering domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can initiate your own personal online business. Normally, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can contact more individuals in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on 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.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a CP where you can determine the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer billing transaction software and templates for your web shop, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the flourishing demand for domains render the domain reseller business niche so tempting. You will either acquire a pre-developed website and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own portal and order form. Generally, you have the opportunity to select between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your very own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Profit From Offering Hosting Services As Well

A suitable addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to customers who wish to build their web site and require both a domain name and a web site hosting package. A number of corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they provide lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to individuals from all over the world.
