Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-enlarging system that provides new possibilities to gain cash online. One of these options is to become a domain reseller and sell domains to end clients, making revenue 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 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is a blossoming marketing niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain involves two parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most widely used domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names include 2-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given Top-Level Domain may have, including the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to clients and administer all domain name resource records.

Earn Profit From Offering Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain profit from selling domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your very own personal electronic business. Generally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more clients in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Trade Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will obtain a web space hosting CP where you can set the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide invoice transaction software and web site templates for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire process combined with the enlarging demand for domains make the domain name reseller market niche so desirable. You will either acquire a ready-to-use site and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal online portal and order form. Usually, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Providing Webspace Hosting Accounts Too

A proper addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to clients who would like to manage their site and need both a domain and a web hosting plan. Some companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free invoice management software to charge your clients. You can then offer domains and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to persons from all over the globe.
