Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing network that provides new possibilities to make money on the Internet. One of these options is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end clients, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domains, so this is a developing trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain is composed of 2 parts - 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 SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most widely used domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains contain 2-character abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each specific Top-Level Domain may contain, like the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to clients and manage all domain records.

Earn Cash From Trading Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn money from offering domains to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can commence your own personal online business. Normally, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more clients in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Resell TLDs On Behalf Of Your Own Brand

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoicing transaction software and web page skins for your web shop, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the big demand for domain names render the domain reseller market niche so seductive. You will either obtain a turn-key web site and avail of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own web site and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the opportunity to pick between the two options, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Money From Reselling Web Site Hosting Solutions Too

A reasonable supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to individuals who would like to develop their website and need both a domain name and a website hosting package. Particular corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free billing management software to charge your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to clients from all around the globe.
