Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing system that delivers new opportunities to gain cash on the Web. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end customers, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is a thriving trading niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain includes 2 constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains 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 top-level domain names are made of 2-character abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and sets the requirements that each particular TLD may have, including the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all DNS records.

Make Revenue From Offering Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn cash from selling domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can kickstart your own electronic business. Normally, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can contact more clients in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on 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 Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will acquire a web space hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide billing management software and skins for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire process combined with the large demand for domains render the domain name reseller business niche so tempting. You will either have a pre-developed site and utilize the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal website and order form. Normally, you have the option to choose between the two options, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Selling Web Site Hosting Packages Too

A relevant addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thus, you can give a package deal to individuals who desire to set up their website and demand both a domain and a site hosting account. A few firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost billing management software to charge your customers. You can then sell domain names and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all around the world.
