Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing community that offers new ways to earn money on the Web. One of them is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end clients, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is a blooming marketing niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain consists of two components - 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 name and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most conventional domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs comprise 2-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and determines the requirements that each particular Top-Level Domain may contain, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to customers and handle all DNS resource records.

Gain Profit From Selling Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn cash from offering domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can initiate your very own personal web business. As a rule, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can contact more users in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Resell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will get a website hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoice transaction software and website templates for your virtual shop, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the considerable demand for domains make the domain reseller industry so attractive. You will either receive a pre-built web site and make use of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own web page and order form. Normally, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how proficient you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Revenue From Offering Webspace Hosting Packages As Well

A nice addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to individuals who desire to create their web page and demand both a domain and a website hosting account. Certain companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoice transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell domain names and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
