Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing community that generates new possibilities to earn cash on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is a blooming business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name consists of 2 entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most popular domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs contain 2-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and sets the preconditions that each particular top-level domain name may contain, including the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain resource records.

Gain Profit From Selling Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to earn cash from offering domains to end users. If you register with such a program, you can kickstart your very own electronic business. Typically, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more persons in regions or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means 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 imposes for the domain name registration.

Resell Domains On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will get a web hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer billing transaction software and web site skins for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the flourishing demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business so alluring. You will either get a ready-for-use site and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal web site and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the option to choose between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will operate under your personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Revenue From Offering Site Hosting Accounts Too

A logical supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to users who would like to create their web site and demand both a domain and a site hosting package. A number of firms have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free billing transaction software to bill your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared web hosting plans to customers, and since they provide plenty of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to persons from all over the globe.
