Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding system that furnishes new possibilities to gain cash on the Web. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end customers, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is a blossoming business niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most widespread domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs are made of 2-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific TLD may have, such as the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to clients and manage all DNS resource records.

Make Profit From Selling Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain cash from offering domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can set up your own personal electronic business. As a rule, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can reach more persons in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Trade Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a web site hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer billing software and web design templates for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the flourishing demand for domains render the domain name reseller market so attractive. You will either obtain a pre-developed web site and make use of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own site and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the opportunity to choose between the 2 options, so it all depends on how expert you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Cash From Supplying Web Hosting Solutions Too

A suitable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to customers who would like to launch their online portal and demand both a domain and a site hosting package. Some corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free billing transaction software to bill your clients. You can then sell domains and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they offer many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to clients from all over the world.
