Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing platform that delivers new possibilities to gain money on the Web. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end customers, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is an enlarging trading niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain includes 2 constituents - 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 Domain Names

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most popular domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names are made of two-letter abbreviations that correspond to 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 Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and sets the preconditions that each concrete Top-Level Domain may impose, such as the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all DNS records.

Earn Money From Offering Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make profit from offering domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can build your very own personal electronic business. Commonly, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can contact more users in regions or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of 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.

Trade Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Very Own Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a hosting CP where you can set the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer billing software and web page layouts for your web store, and the automation of the entire process combined with the significant demand for domain names render the domain reseller market so desirable. You will either acquire a pre-built web site and avail of the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own web page and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the option to select between the two options, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your very own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Supplying Hosting Solutions As Well

A logical supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to individuals who desire to make their web page and require both a domain name and a web page hosting package. A number of companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoicing software to bill your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting plans to customers, and since they offer lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to people from all around the globe.
