Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing system that delivers new opportunities to gain cash online. One of these opportunities is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end clients, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is a blooming business niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most popular domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs involve two-character abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each concrete top-level domain name may entail, among them the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain records.

Make Profit From Offering Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain revenue from offering domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can start your own web business. Normally, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more individuals in regional communities or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from 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 Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will get a site hosting CP where you can select the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer billing software and design templates for your online shop, and the automation of the whole process combined with the vast demand for domain names make the domain reseller business niche so desirable. You will either have a turn-key site and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own web portal and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to choose between the 2 options, so it all depends on how trained you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Reselling Webspace Hosting Solutions As Well

A good supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to users who desire to have their online portal and need both a domain and a web site hosting package. A few companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing software to charge your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide many diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to clients from all over the world.
