Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing platform that supplies new possibilities to make money on the Web. One of these possibilities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end users, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a growing trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain involves two parts - a Top-Level Domain (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 Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names are made of 2-character abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that manages the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given top-level domain name may involve, like the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to clients and manage all domain resource records.

Make Revenue From Selling Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn revenue from offering domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can build your own personal online business. Usually, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more people in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Trade Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Personal Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will acquire a website hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoicing software and site layouts for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the great demand for domain names make the domain name reseller industry so attractive. You will either receive a pre-built web site and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own portal and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to pick between the 2 options, so it all depends on how trained you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your very own brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Cash From Offering Website Hosting Packages As Well

A nice supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to people who wish to launch their web page and demand both a domain and a hosting account. Certain corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoice software to charge your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to customers from all over the globe.
