Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing platform that delivers new ways to make money on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end users, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is a blooming marketing niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain involves two constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the best known domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains contain 2-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and determines the preconditions that each specific TLD may contain, among them the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to clients and manage all domain name resource records.

Earn Money From Reselling Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to gain profit from selling domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can kickstart your very own Internet business. Typically, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more clients in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Resell Domains Under Your Own Brand Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will receive a web page hosting CP where you can select the prices for the different TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide billing management software and web page themes for your web shop, and the automation of the entire process combined with the considerable demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business so desirable. You will either receive a pre-built site and avail of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal website and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to choose between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Cash From Promoting Hosting Solutions As Well

A relevant addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to customers who would like to set up their web page and demand both a domain name and a website hosting account. A number of companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free billing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they offer many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to users from all around the globe.
