Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing system that offers new ways to earn money on the Internet. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end users, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are millions of presently active domain names, so this is a developing trading niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most widespread domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs are made of 2-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each particular TLD may contain, such as the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to customers and handle all domain resource records.

Earn Revenue From Selling Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make revenue from selling domain names to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can set up your own web business. As a rule, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more people in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Trade Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a hosting CP where you can select the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoice management software and web site skins for your online store, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the strong demand for domains render the domain name reseller market so alluring. You will either acquire a pre-developed web site and utilize the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own portal and order form. Usually, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Cash From Supplying Web Page Hosting Solutions Too

A perfect supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thus, you can give a package deal to people who would like to set up their online portal and require both a domain name and a site hosting package. A few firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoice transaction software to charge your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they provide a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to customers from all over the globe.
