Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding community that generates new options to make money on the Web. One of these options is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end users, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is an enlarging trading niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name consists of 2 parts - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name 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 Domains comprise the most common domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names contain two-character abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given Top-Level Domain may involve, such as the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to customers and handle all domain name resource records.

Gain Profit From Selling Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make profit from offering domains to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can begin your very own electronic business. Regularly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more individuals in local communities or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides 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 name registration.

Trade Top-Level Domains Under Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will have a web site hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide billing software and website templates for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the swelling demand for domains make the domain name reseller market so desirable. You will either acquire a ready-for-use web site and use the Registrar system to resell domains, 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 option to select between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own personal brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Profit From Providing Web Hosting Packages As Well

A perfect addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to persons who want to launch their online portal and demand both a domain name and a site hosting account. Certain firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free billing management software to charge your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting plans to customers, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all around the globe.
