Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing platform that provides new opportunities to make money on the Web. One of these options is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end users, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is a blossoming marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name is made of 2 pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (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 gTLDs comprise the most widespread domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs consist of 2-character abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete Top-Level Domain may have, including the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and manage all domain resource records.

Earn Profit From Reselling Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make profit from selling domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can kickstart your very own personal e-business. Normally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more individuals in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Offer Top-Level Domains Under Your Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will get a webspace hosting CP where you can select the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide invoice transaction software and web site themes for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the growing demand for domains make the domain reseller business so attractive. You will either have a pre-built website and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own personal web page and order form. Typically, you have the option to choose between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Cash From Reselling Web Page Hosting Services Too

A proper supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to individuals who would like to create their site and require both a domain and a web page hosting account. Particular firms have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free billing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to users from all around the globe.
