Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding network that supplies new possibilities to make money online. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end customers, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is an enlarging marketing niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most popular domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names are made of two-character abbreviations that represent each country. Instances 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 institution that administers the registrations and determines the preconditions that each concrete TLD may entail, including the length of the registration term or the residency 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.

Gain Revenue From Trading Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make revenue from selling domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can start your own personal electronic business. Normally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can reach more customers in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means 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 registration.

Sell Domains On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web site hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide invoicing transaction software and site skins for your web shop, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the swelling demand for domains make the domain reseller market niche so attractive. You will either acquire a turn-key site and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal online portal and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how advanced you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will work under your personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Cash From Offering Web Site Hosting Plans Too

A reasonable addition 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 people who would like to make their web page and demand both a domain name and a site hosting package. A number of companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge billing management software to bill your customers. You can then sell domain names and shared web hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to people from all around the world.
