Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing network that delivers new options to make cash online. One of these opportunities is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end clients, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is an enlarging business niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain is composed of 2 pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the best known domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains are made of two-character abbreviations that denote 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 top-level domain name or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete Top-Level Domain may entail, like the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to clients and administer all DNS resource records.

Make Profit From Trading Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to earn money from selling domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can start your own personal e-business. Usually, a domain name 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 cause is that resellers can reach more people in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will receive a hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the different TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoicing software and website layouts for your web store, and the automation of the entire process together with the high demand for domains render the domain name reseller market so desirable. You will either acquire a pre-developed website and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal web portal and order form. Traditionally, you have the option to select between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will operate under your very own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Reselling Web Page Hosting Solutions Too

A logical supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to people who desire to make their web site and need both a domain name and a webspace hosting package. Some firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and cost-free billing management software to charge your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting plans to customers, and since they provide lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to persons from all around the globe.
