Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-enlarging system that offers new opportunities to make money on the Web. One of these opportunities is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end users, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is a thriving business niche that you can become a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name comprises two 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 name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most conventional domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains consist of 2-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and determines the preconditions that each specific Top-Level Domain may have, including the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain name resource records.

Gain Cash From Selling Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain revenue from offering domains to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can begin your very own personal web business. Normally, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more clients in local communities or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Offer Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will have a website hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer billing management software and website layouts for your online storefront, and the automation of the whole process combined with the enlarging demand for domain names render the domain reseller industry so attractive. You will either obtain a pre-built web site and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal web portal and order form. Normally, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how advanced you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your very own trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Providing Web Page Hosting Solutions Too

A sensible supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to persons who would like to make their web site and demand both a domain name and a website hosting package. A few companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free invoice transaction software to charge your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to individuals from all over the globe.
