Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing system that furnishes new options to make money on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is an increasing trading niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain includes two constituents - a top-level domain name (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 name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most conventional domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs include two-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and sets the requirements that each specific top-level domain name may have, like the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain name resource records.

Earn Money From Reselling Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain money from offering domain names to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can kick off your very own personal Internet business. Usually, a domain will be cheaper 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 reach more customers in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies 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 imposes for the domain name registration.

Trade Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will get a site hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoice management software and web site themes for your online store, and the automation of the whole process together with the immense demand for domains render the domain name reseller business so seductive. You will either have a pre-developed site and use the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own personal website and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to choose between the two options, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your very own personal brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Cash From Trading Web Space Hosting Accounts Too

A reasonable supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thus, you can give a package deal to persons who desire to run their website and require both a domain name and a web site hosting account. Particular corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free billing software to bill your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they offer lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to clients from all around the world.
