Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-enlarging platform that supplies new options to earn cash on the Web. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end clients, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is a thriving trading niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name consists of two parts - a top-level domain name (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 SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most conventional domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs consist of two-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each specific top-level domain name may contain, among them 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 sell the domain name to clients and administer all domain name records.

Make Money From Reselling Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain money from selling domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can launch your own e-business. Regularly, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more customers in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Resell Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will receive a web page hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer billing transaction software and web page skins for your online shop, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the considerable demand for domain names make the domain reseller market so desirable. You will either obtain a ready-to-use web site and make use 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 very own web portal and order form. Commonly, you have the option to decide between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your very own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Money From Trading Web Hosting Solutions As Well

A sensible addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to clients who would like to manage their web portal and need both a domain name and a site hosting package. A number of firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoice management software to charge your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
