Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing community that delivers new possibilities to gain money online. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end clients, gaining 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 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is a thriving trading niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most widely used domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs include 2-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each concrete TLD may include, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to clients and administer all domain name resource records.

Make Revenue From Offering Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to gain profit from selling domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can begin your very own web business. Regularly, a domain will cost less 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 local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will acquire a hosting CP where you can set the prices for the various top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoicing transaction software and design skins for your web shop, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the enlarging demand for domains make the domain name reseller business so attractive. You will either have a turn-key site and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own web portal and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how accomplished you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your own personal brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Providing Website Hosting Packages As Well

A suitable addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to individuals who desire to run their site and demand both a domain and a web hosting plan. Some firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and cost-free invoice management software to charge your clients. You can then offer domains and shared web hosting packages to clients, and since they provide plenty of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to clients from all over the globe.
