Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing network that delivers new possibilities to make money on the Web. One of these possibilities is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is an enlarging trading niche that you can become a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name contains 2 constituents - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains are made of 2-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that manages the registrations and sets the preconditions that each concrete Top-Level Domain may include, among them the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain name resource records.

Make Profit From Reselling Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn money from offering domains to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can commence your very own personal web business. Regularly, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more persons in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will cash in on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Trade TLDs Under Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will receive a site hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer invoicing transaction software and web site layouts for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the rising demand for domains render the domain name reseller business so desirable. You will either receive a ready-to-use site and utilize the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own web page and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the opportunity to decide between the two options, so it all depends on how trained you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your very own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Money From Selling Web Site Hosting Plans As Well

A relevant supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to persons who would like to create their site and require both a domain name and a hosting package. A few companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoicing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell domains and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to customers from all around the world.
