Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing community that offers new ways to gain cash online. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end clients, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is a flowering business niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name is made of two entities - a Top-Level Domain (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 Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs are made of 2-character abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each given TLD may entail, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and handle all domain resource records.

Gain Revenue From Offering Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make cash from offering domains to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can launch your own electronic business. Generally, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can contact more persons in areas or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Trade TLDs Under Your Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a web page hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer billing transaction software and web page skins for your online storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the increasing demand for domains make the domain reseller market so seductive. You will either obtain a pre-made website and use the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own web page and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the option to pick between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Supplying Website Hosting Plans Too

A suitable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to clients who want to build their online portal and demand both a domain and a website hosting plan. A number of corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoice software to charge your clients. You can then offer domain names and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to clients from all around the globe.
