Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing community that provides new options to make cash online. One of these options is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end clients, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is an increasing marketing niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name includes 2 components - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most popular domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs include 2-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and sets the requirements that each given Top-Level Domain may contain, like the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and manage all DNS resource records.

Make Revenue From Trading Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make money from offering domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can begin your very own personal electronic business. As a rule, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more individuals in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Resell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will receive a web space hosting CP where you can select the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide invoice transaction software and web design themes for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire process together with the towering demand for domain names render the domain reseller market niche so tempting. You will either acquire a ready-for-use site and use the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal portal and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to select between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Profit From Reselling Web Site Hosting Packages As Well

A suitable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. In this way, you can give a package deal to customers who would like to create their web site and need both a domain and a web space hosting account. Some firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free invoice management software to bill your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they offer many diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to users from all around the globe.
