Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing platform that delivers new ways to earn money online. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end customers, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is a blooming business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain involves 2 constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the best known domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs contain two-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples 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 is responsible for the registrations and determines the requirements that each concrete Top-Level Domain may impose, like the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain name records.

Gain Revenue From Trading Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain revenue from selling domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kickstart your own personal e-business. Commonly, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can reach more individuals in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means 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 imposes for the domain name registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a CP where you can determine the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoicing software and design skins for your virtual shop, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the expanding demand for domain names render the domain name reseller business niche so desirable. You will either get a ready-made website and utilize the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own online portal and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the opportunity to choose between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will do business on behalf of your very own personal brand and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Revenue From Selling Web Page Hosting Accounts As Well

An excellent supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thus, you can give a package deal to users who would like to build their website and demand both a domain and a web page hosting plan. A number of corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoice software to bill your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they offer a lot of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the world.
