Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing community that supplies new possibilities to gain money on the Web. One of these opportunities is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end clients, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently active domains, so this is a thriving marketing niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name involves 2 pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most common domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains consist of two-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and sets the preconditions that each specific top-level domain name may impose, among them 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 actually sell the domain name to clients and administer all domain name resource records.

Earn Profit From Reselling Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to gain money from selling domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can start your own web business. Normally, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can reach more persons in regions or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Sell Domain Names Under Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will have a web site hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide invoice software and web site layouts for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the considerable demand for domains make the domain name reseller market niche so tempting. You will either acquire a pre-made website and avail of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own personal web site and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the option to select between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Cash From Offering Web Space Hosting Packages As Well

An excellent addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. In this way, you can give a package deal to customers who desire to make their web page and require both a domain name and a web page hosting package. A few companies supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost billing software to bill your clients. You can then sell TLDs and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all over the globe.
