Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing network that supplies new possibilities to earn cash on the Web. One of these possibilities is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is a blossoming marketing niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain is composed of 2 parts - 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 name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most popular domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs include 2-character abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each particular TLD may contain, such as the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all DNS resource records.

Gain Money From Offering Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn profit from offering domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can launch your own e-business. Regularly, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more persons in regions or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Resell Domains On Behalf Of Your Own Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will get a web hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide invoice management software and site skins for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the great demand for domains make the domain reseller industry so alluring. You will either receive a pre-made web site and use the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own online portal and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the option to choose between the two options, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Revenue From Selling Site Hosting Solutions As Well

An appropriate supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to people who want to set up their web site and demand both a domain and a web site hosting package. Certain corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and cost-free invoice software to bill your clients. You can then offer domains and shared hosting plans to clients, and since they provide plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to people from all over the world.
