Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing community that supplies new possibilities to make money on the Internet. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end clients, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is an enlarging trading niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name involves two entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most famous domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs are made of 2-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each particular Top-Level Domain may entail, such as the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain records.

Earn Profit From Trading Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make revenue from selling domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can build your own personal electronic business. Generally, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more people in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will earn a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Sell Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will get a webspace hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoice transaction software and skins for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the considerable demand for domain names render the domain name reseller market so tempting. You will either receive a turn-key website and utilize the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own personal web portal and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the option to decide between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your very own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Providing Web Hosting Solutions As Well

A relevant supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to individuals who would like to have their web site and demand both a domain and a website hosting account. A few companies supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoice software to charge your customers. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they provide many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all over the world.
