Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing network that supplies new options to earn cash on the Web. One of them is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end customers, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is an enlarging business niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name consists of 2 components - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".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 widespread domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names comprise 2-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each given Top-Level Domain may include, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to clients and manage all DNS resource records.

Gain Cash From Reselling Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to earn cash from offering domain names to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can initiate your own personal electronic business. Typically, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can contact more clients in regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will obtain a web hosting Control Panel where you can set the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer billing transaction software and web page templates for your online storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the growing demand for domain names make the domain reseller business so seductive. You will either acquire a pre-built web site and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own site and order form. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to pick between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Offering Web Page Hosting Services Too

A suitable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to persons who would like to run their web site and require both a domain name and a web site hosting account. Particular companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free billing software to charge your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting packages to customers, and since they offer many different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to users from all around the globe.
