Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding network that generates new options to earn money on the Web. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end users, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is a blooming business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain involves two constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs involve two-character abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each particular Top-Level Domain may entail, among them the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and administer all domain name resource records.

Make Revenue From Offering Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make revenue from selling domain names to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can kickstart your very own online business. Normally, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can contact more customers in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Offer TLDs On Behalf Of Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a site hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoicing software and layouts for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the considerable demand for domain names make the domain name reseller industry so attractive. You will either obtain a pre-made site and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own web page and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the option to decide between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how expert you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your very own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Profit From Promoting Hosting Plans As Well

A relevant addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to users who wish to manage their web portal and demand both a domain and a hosting package. A few firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoicing transaction 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 customers from all around the globe.
