Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing community that supplies new opportunities to make cash on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end users, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is a developing business niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name consists of two constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most common domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names include two-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the preconditions that each particular top-level domain name 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 corporations that actually offer the domain name to clients and manage all domain name records.

Earn Profit From Trading Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to earn revenue from selling domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can commence your very own personal online business. Typically, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more customers in local communities or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains Under Your Own Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a website hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the different TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide billing transaction software and skins for your online store, and the automation of the whole process together with the proliferating demand for domains render the domain reseller industry so desirable. You will either get a pre-made website and make use of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own website and order form. Usually, you have the option to pick between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your very own personal brand and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Revenue From Reselling Web Site Hosting Solutions Too

A proper addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to people who would like to have their web portal and demand both a domain name and a webspace hosting plan. Some corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free billing management software to bill your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide many different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to users from all around the globe.
