Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing network that provides new options to gain cash on the Web. One of these possibilities is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end customers, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is a flowering business niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain includes two pieces - 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.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most conventional domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names include 2-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names 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 organization that manages the registrations and sets the preconditions that each given Top-Level Domain may entail, including the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain resource records.

Earn Revenue From Reselling Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make cash from selling domains to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can commence your own e-business. Regularly, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can reach more people in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a website hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoicing software and design templates for your web store, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the great demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market niche so seductive. You will either obtain a ready-to-use website and make use of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own online portal and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to pick between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Providing Site Hosting Solutions As Well

A good addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to users who desire to set up their web page and demand both a domain name and a webspace hosting package. Certain corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoice management software to bill your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
