Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing system that delivers new ways to earn cash on the Internet. One of these options is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end customers, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is a developing trading niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain contains two entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most common domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains contain 2-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and sets the preconditions that each concrete TLD may impose, among them the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to clients and manage all DNS resource records.

Make Revenue From Reselling Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn revenue from offering domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your own personal online business. As a rule, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more customers in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies 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 imposes for the domain registration.

Trade TLDs On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will have a webspace hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer invoicing software and web design layouts for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole process together with the growing demand for domains make the domain reseller business so alluring. You will either acquire a ready-to-use site and avail of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own personal web site and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the option to choose between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Profit From Offering Webspace Hosting Packages Too

A suitable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to people who wish to have their site and need both a domain and a site hosting plan. A number of firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free invoice management software to charge your clients. You can then offer domains and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to clients from all over the world.
