Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding system that supplies new ways to gain money on the Internet. One of these ways is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end clients, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is an increasing trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name comprises 2 pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most famous domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names include two-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each particular Top-Level Domain may involve, including the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain resource records.

Make Cash From Reselling Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to earn profit from offering domains to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can start your own personal web business. Commonly, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more clients in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Offer Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a website hosting Control Panel where you can set the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer billing software and website skins for your web store, and the automation of the whole process together with the swelling demand for domains render the domain reseller business so seductive. You will either acquire a pre-developed site 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 own personal website and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how expert you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Profit From Offering Website Hosting Solutions Too

A nice addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to people who want to build their site and require both a domain name and a web hosting plan. Given firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and charge-free billing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to clients from all around the world.
