Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing network that offers new opportunities to make money on the Web. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end customers, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is a flourishing trading niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain is made of 2 components - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most widely used domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains consist of 2-letter abbreviations that denote 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 name or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each specific Top-Level Domain may involve, such as the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to clients and administer all DNS records.

Earn Revenue From Offering Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to gain cash from selling domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your very own personal electronic business. As a rule, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can reach more persons in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Resell Domain Names Under Your Personal Brand

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will receive a webspace hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the various top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoicing transaction software and design skins for your online storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the enormous demand for domain names render the domain name reseller market niche so desirable. You will either have a ready-to-use site and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own portal and order form. Generally, you have the opportunity to select between the two options, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your very own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Cash From Offering Webspace Hosting Plans Too

A perfect supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to persons who would like to build their web site and need both a domain and a webspace hosting plan. A few corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoice software to bill your clients. You can then offer domains and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they provide many diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to clients from all around the world.
