Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding system that furnishes new ways to make money on the Web. One of these opportunities is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end users, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are millions of presently active domain names, so this is a flowering business niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name is composed of two pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most famous domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names comprise two-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and sets the requirements that each given top-level domain name may include, among them the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain name resource records.

Make Cash From Offering Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn cash from selling domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can begin your very own web business. As a rule, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can reach more persons in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be famous at all. 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 user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Trade TLDs Under Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a site hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide billing software and templates for your web shop, and the automation of the whole process together with the enlarging demand for domains render the domain name reseller business niche so attractive. You will either have a turn-key website and use the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own personal web portal and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the option to decide between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Money From Promoting Hosting Packages As Well

A suitable addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to people who wish to manage their online portal and need both a domain and a web site hosting plan. Some firms have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and charge-free billing management software to bill your customers. You can then sell TLDs and shared hosting packages to clients, and since they offer many different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the globe.
