Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing network that supplies new ways to gain money on the Web. One of these possibilities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end clients, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is a blossoming business niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the best known domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names involve 2-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each particular TLD may involve, among them the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain name resource records.

Make Profit From Trading Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make cash from selling domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can establish your very own personal e-business. Generally, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more people 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 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.

Offer TLDs On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer invoice transaction software and web design themes for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the big demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market niche so seductive. You will either acquire a ready-for-use site and avail 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 very own personal website and order form. Normally, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will operate under your very own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Cash From Supplying Webspace Hosting Services Too

A sensible supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to people who would like to build their web page and need both a domain and a web page hosting account. Some firms have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free invoice transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to users from all around the globe.
