Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding system that supplies new possibilities to gain money on the Internet. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and offer domains to end users, generating revenue 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 active domains, so this is an increasing trading niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain is composed of 2 pieces - a top-level domain name (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.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most widely used domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs comprise two-character abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific TLD may have, among them the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to customers and administer all DNS resource records.

Earn Money From Reselling Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to make cash from selling domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can set up your own e-business. Generally, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more clients in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Trade Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a site hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer billing transaction software and web design templates for your virtual shop, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the proliferating demand for domains render the domain reseller market so alluring. You will either have a ready-to-use site and avail of 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 own personal web page and order form. Usually, you have the option to select between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will work under your personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Revenue From Promoting Web Page Hosting Plans Too

An appropriate supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. In this way, you can give a package deal to persons who wish to have their web portal and require both a domain and a hosting plan. Particular corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free billing software to bill your clients. You can then sell domains and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they provide a lot of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to clients from all over the world.
