Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing system that delivers new possibilities to make cash on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain reseller and sell domains to end customers, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is a thriving trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain includes two pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most widespread domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains consist of two-character abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and determines the requirements that each particular TLD may include, such as the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain resource records.

Gain Profit From Selling Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make money from offering domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can establish your very own e-business. Commonly, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can contact more clients in regional communities or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Sell Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will receive a web site hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide invoicing transaction software and site templates for your online storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the increasing demand for domains render the domain name reseller market niche so seductive. You will either acquire a ready-made web site and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own portal and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the opportunity to choose between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Providing Hosting Services As Well

A proper supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to clients who wish to have their web page and demand both a domain and a web space hosting account. Particular corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoicing software to bill your clients. You can then offer domain names and shared website hosting packages to customers, and since they provide lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
