Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-enlarging network that generates new ways to make money on the Internet. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end users, gaining revenue 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 presently active domain names, so this is an increasing business niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name is made of two pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most popular domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs comprise two-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given top-level domain name may contain, like the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to clients and administer all DNS records.

Make Cash From Trading Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make money from offering domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your very own web business. Normally, 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 customer. The reason is that resellers can reach more individuals in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Trade Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a webspace hosting Control Panel where you can set the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer invoicing transaction software and web site skins for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the towering demand for domain names make the domain reseller business so desirable. You will either get a ready-for-use web site and make use of the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal portal and order form. Traditionally, you have the option to pick between the two options, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Profit From Trading Web Space Hosting Packages As Well

A sensible addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. In this way, you can give a package deal to clients who wish to set up their web page and need both a domain and a web space hosting package. Given companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge billing software to bill your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the globe.
