Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing system that offers new options to make money online. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end clients, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of presently active domain names, so this is a blooming trading niche that you can become a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain comprises two parts - 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.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains involve two-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete TLD may include, including the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain name records.

Gain Money From Offering Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to earn profit from selling domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can launch your own Internet business. Generally, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more persons in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Sell Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a hosting Control Panel where you can set the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoice management software and web page templates for your online shop, and the automation of the entire process together with the great demand for domain names render the domain name reseller business so tempting. 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 personal web portal and order form. Generally, you have the opportunity to choose between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how skilled you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your own brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Profit From Reselling Web Space Hosting Plans Too

A perfect addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to individuals who desire to have their online portal and need both a domain and a web site hosting plan. Given firms have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoice software to charge your customers. You can then sell domain names and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they provide plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to users from all around the globe.
