Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing community that offers new options to gain cash online. One of these options is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end users, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is a developing marketing niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name includes two components - a Top-Level Domain (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.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most conventional domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names are composed of 2-character abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and sets the requirements that each given Top-Level Domain may involve, including the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to clients and administer all domain name records.

Make Revenue From Trading Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make money from offering domains to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can launch your very own personal e-business. Normally, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more people in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on 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.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a web space hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the separate TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide invoicing transaction software and web page layouts for your web shop, and the automation of the entire process together with the huge demand for domains make the domain reseller market so attractive. You will either receive a pre-made website and make use of the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own site and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the option to decide between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how trained you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your own trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Promoting Web Page Hosting Solutions As Well

A good supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to clients who wish to manage their web page and require both a domain name and a web page hosting account. Some corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and charge-free billing management software to bill your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to individuals from all over the globe.
