Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-enlarging network that offers new options to gain cash on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end customers, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently active domain names, so this is an enlarging trading niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name comprises 2 entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most famous domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names consist of two-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and determines the preconditions that each specific TLD may have, among them the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to customers and administer all domain name records.

Make Money From Trading Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn profit from selling domains to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can launch your very own personal online business. As a rule, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can reach more users in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Sell Domain Names Under Your Own Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a web site hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide invoicing transaction software and design themes for your online shop, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the swelling demand for domain names make the domain reseller industry so attractive. You will either acquire a pre-made website and use the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own personal site and order form. Commonly, you have the option to decide between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will operate under your very own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Cash From Selling Website Hosting Plans Too

A perfect addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to persons who want to run their site and need both a domain name and a web hosting package. Some companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free billing management software to bill your customers. You can then sell domain names and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they offer a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
