Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding system that provides new options to make cash on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end clients, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is a growing marketing niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most popular domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names consist of two-character abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and sets the requirements that each specific top-level domain name may include, such as the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain resource records.

Gain Money From Trading Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to gain revenue from selling domains to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can establish your very own personal e-business. Usually, 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 customer. The explanation is that resellers can reach more clients in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will earn a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Sell TLDs On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will obtain a web space hosting CP where you can select the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide billing software and site skins for your online storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the vast demand for domain names make the domain name reseller industry so alluring. You will either receive a ready-to-use site and make use of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own site and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the option to decide between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your very own personal brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Profit From Promoting Web Hosting Accounts As Well

A sensible addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to individuals who would like to create their web page and require both a domain name and a site hosting plan. Given companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and cost-free invoicing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then sell TLDs and shared website hosting packages to clients, and since they offer plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
