Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding community that provides new possibilities to gain money on the Web. One of them is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end customers, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is a flowering marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain consists of 2 entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most widespread domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs include 2-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific top-level domain name may have, among them the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain name records.

Make Money From Reselling Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make cash from selling domains to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can set up your own electronic business. Commonly, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more people in areas or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Offer Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a site hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide billing management software and web design skins for your web store, and the automation of the entire process together with the enormous demand for domains make the domain name reseller market niche so tempting. You will either acquire a ready-made website and avail of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own web page and order form. Generally, you have the option to choose between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how advanced you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Money From Reselling Web Hosting Plans Too

A logical addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to persons who desire to launch their site and need both a domain name and a web site hosting plan. Given corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoice software to bill your customers. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to people from all over the world.
