Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing community that offers new ways to make money on the Internet. One of them is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end customers, making profit 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 domain names, so this is a growing business niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name is made of two components - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most widespread domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs involve 2-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each particular Top-Level Domain may contain, like the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and administer all DNS resource records.

Earn Revenue From Trading Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn profit from offering domain names to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can kick off your own personal web business. Commonly, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can contact more individuals in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Sell Top-Level Domains Under Your Very Own Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will receive a website hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoice management software and site skins for your online store, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the expanding demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market so alluring. You will either obtain a pre-built site and use the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own web page and order form. Normally, you have the opportunity to choose between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your own personal brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Supplying Website Hosting Plans Too

A good addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thus, you can give a package deal to persons who want to create their web page and require both a domain and a hosting account. Given firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free billing management software to bill your clients. You can then offer domains and shared website hosting packages to customers, and since they provide lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to persons from all over the globe.
