Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding network that delivers new opportunities to earn money online. One of these possibilities is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end customers, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is a flourishing business niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain is made of two constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the best known domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs contain two-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and determines the requirements that each concrete TLD may involve, such as the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain name records.

Make Profit From Trading Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to gain cash from selling domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can kickstart your very own personal electronic business. Typically, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more clients in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Trade Domain Names Under Your Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will acquire a website hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the various top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoice software and web templates for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the rising demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market so seductive. You will either acquire a ready-made site and use the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own web page and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the option to choose between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Revenue From Trading Web Site Hosting Solutions As Well

An excellent supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to customers who would like to create their website and demand both a domain and a web hosting plan. Given firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then sell TLDs and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
