Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding system that generates new options to gain cash on the Internet. One of them is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end clients, making revenue 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 domain names, so this is an increasing trading niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name comprises 2 parts - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most widespread domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs contain 2-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each given TLD may entail, like the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to clients and manage all DNS records.

Gain Revenue From Offering Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain money from selling domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can kick off your own e-business. Normally, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can contact more people in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Sell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Brand Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a web space hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoicing transaction software and web site templates for your web shop, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the swelling demand for domain names render the domain reseller business so attractive. You will either obtain a turn-key web site and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own personal web page and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the opportunity to choose between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your very own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Revenue From Reselling Hosting Plans Too

A reasonable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to users who want to build their web site and need both a domain name and a website hosting plan. Given corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge billing management software to bill your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they offer a lot of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the globe.
