Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing network that supplies new possibilities to make money on the Internet. One of these options is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end clients, generating 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 day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is a developing trading niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most common domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs are made of two-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific Top-Level Domain may involve, such as the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to clients and manage all domain name records.

Earn Revenue From Reselling Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to make profit from offering domains to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can begin your own electronic business. Usually, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more people in regions or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Offer TLDs On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will have a webspace hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer billing software and site themes for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the whole process combined with the increasing demand for domain names make the domain name reseller industry so tempting. You will either obtain a ready-to-use website and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own web portal and order form. Traditionally, you have the option to select between the 2 options, so it all depends on how expert you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will work under your very own trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Profit From Reselling Site Hosting Plans As Well

A reasonable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to users who would like to set up their site and require both a domain name and a web space hosting package. Given corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoice management software to charge your clients. You can then offer domains and shared hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to persons from all over the globe.
