Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing network that provides new ways to earn money on the Internet. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end clients, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is an increasing trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most widespread domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs are made of 2-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and determines the preconditions that each particular TLD may impose, among them the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and handle all domain records.

Make Cash From Selling Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to earn revenue from selling domains to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can launch your very own personal e-business. Usually, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more customers in areas or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will acquire a web hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer billing software and web layouts for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the great demand for domain names render the domain reseller business so desirable. You will either receive a ready-for-use site and utilize the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal web site and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to pick between the two options, so it all depends on how accomplished you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Profit From Selling Site Hosting Services Too

A good addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to people who wish to run their site and demand both a domain and a hosting plan. A few corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoice management software to charge your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared hosting plans to customers, and since they provide many diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to clients from all over the world.
