Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing system that delivers new possibilities to make money on the Internet. One of these ways is to become a domain reseller and offer domains to end users, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is a developing marketing niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name consists of 2 pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".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 TLDs include the most conventional domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs contain two-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and determines the requirements that each concrete TLD may impose, among them the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to customers and administer all DNS resource records.

Gain Cash From Reselling Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn revenue from offering domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your very own personal Internet business. Generally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can reach more users in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Resell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a webspace hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide billing transaction software and design layouts for your online shop, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the towering demand for domain names render the domain name reseller market so attractive. You will either acquire a pre-made web site and use the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own site and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to decide between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Money From Selling Site Hosting Accounts As Well

A good supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to persons who desire to manage their web site and demand both a domain and a web site hosting account. A few corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge billing management software to bill your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared web hosting plans to customers, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to persons from all around the world.
