Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing network that supplies new options to gain cash on the Internet. One of them is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a flowering marketing niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name consists of two components - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

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 widely used domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs include two-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given Top-Level Domain may involve, among them the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to customers and administer all DNS resource records.

Gain Money From Trading Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to gain money from selling domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can launch your very own Internet business. Generally, a domain name 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 cause is that resellers can contact more persons in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will earn a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Sell Domains Under Your Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a web site hosting Control Panel where you can set the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer invoice management software and web page skins for your web store, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the rising demand for domain names render the domain name reseller market so seductive. You will either obtain a pre-built site and use the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal site and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the option to decide between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how accomplished you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your personal brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Reselling Web Page Hosting Plans Too

A proper addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to people who would like to establish their web page and need both a domain name and a web space hosting plan. A few companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost billing software to bill your clients. You can then offer domains and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they provide a lot of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to individuals from all over the globe.
