Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing community that furnishes new options to earn money on the Internet. One of these ways is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end clients, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a thriving marketing niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain is composed of 2 constituents - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most widespread domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs are composed of 2-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the preconditions that each concrete Top-Level Domain may have, such as the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain resource records.

Gain Profit From Reselling Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain profit from selling domains to end users. If you register with such a program, you can commence your own personal Internet business. As a rule, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more people in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Trade Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will acquire a Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide invoicing software and site layouts for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the flourishing demand for domain names render the domain reseller industry so alluring. You will either get a pre-developed website and utilize the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own site and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the opportunity to choose between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your very own brand and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Money From Reselling Webspace Hosting Solutions Too

A logical supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to clients who want to make their web page and need both a domain and a webspace hosting package. Certain companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free billing software to charge your customers. You can then offer domains and shared website hosting packages to customers, and since they offer lots of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to customers from all over the world.
