Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-enlarging community that furnishes new options to gain money on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a flowering business niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain is made of two parts - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most widespread domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains include 2-character abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each particular TLD may impose, among them the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to customers and handle all DNS records.

Earn Revenue From Offering Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain profit from offering domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kickstart your very own web business. Typically, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more clients in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains Under Your Own Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a website hosting CP where you can select the prices for the various top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide invoice transaction software and site templates for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the towering demand for domain names make the domain reseller business niche so alluring. You will either acquire a ready-made site and use the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal web page and order form. Normally, you have the option to select between the 2 options, so it all depends on how proficient you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will work under your very own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Profit From Trading Webspace Hosting Accounts Too

An excellent supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. In this way, you can give a package deal to people who would like to run their web portal and need both a domain name and a web hosting account. A number of firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoicing software to charge your customers. You can then sell domains and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to persons from all over the globe.
