Domain name reseller

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

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name is composed of two components - 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 SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most conventional domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs contain two-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and sets the preconditions that each specific Top-Level Domain may entail, among them the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain records.

Gain Cash From Trading Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to earn profit from selling domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can set up your own online business. Commonly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more people in areas or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains Under Your Very Own Brand

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a site hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer invoicing transaction software and design layouts for your web store, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the vast demand for domains make the domain reseller market niche so seductive. You will either receive a ready-to-use website and make use of 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 very own web portal and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 options, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Cash From Supplying Web Hosting Accounts Too

A nice addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thus, you can give a package deal to clients who want to launch their web page and demand both a domain and a hosting account. A number of corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoice management software to charge your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting packages to clients, and since they provide many diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all over the globe.
