Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing network that supplies new possibilities to make money on the Web. One of these possibilities is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end customers, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is an increasing business niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain comprises two pieces - 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 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 gTLDs comprise the most widespread domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs contain 2-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each particular TLD may have, including the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain name resource records.

Gain Revenue From Offering Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn money from offering domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kickstart your own e-business. Generally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can reach more people in local communities or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will cash in on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Sell TLDs Under Your Own Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will obtain a web site hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the various top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer billing transaction software and design skins for your online shop, and the automation of the whole process together with the enlarging demand for domains render the domain name reseller business niche so alluring. You will either get a pre-made website and avail of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own web page and order form. Typically, you have the opportunity to choose between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your very own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Cash From Trading Webspace Hosting Services As Well

A perfect addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to individuals who would like to run their site and require both a domain and a web space hosting package. Given corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoicing software to charge your customers. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to people from all around the globe.
