Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding network that generates new ways to gain money on the Web. One of these options is to be a domain reseller and offer domain names to end users, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is a flowering marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name is made of two constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most widely used domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs are made of two-letter 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 top-level domain name or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and sets the preconditions that each specific top-level domain name may entail, including the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and manage all DNS resource records.

Make Revenue From Selling Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to earn money from selling domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can launch your own personal web business. Generally, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can contact more individuals in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will have a web page hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide invoice software and web design layouts for your web store, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the great demand for domains make the domain name reseller business niche so desirable. You will either acquire a ready-made site and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own web site and order form. Generally, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how skillful you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Profit From Supplying Web Hosting Services As Well

A proper supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thus, you can give a package deal to users who desire to build their web site and need both a domain name and a web page hosting account. Some corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and cost-free billing management software to bill your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to users from all around the globe.
