Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing network that provides new ways to earn cash on the Web. One of these ways is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end customers, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently active domain names, so this is an expanding business niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name comprises two components - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most conventional domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs are made of 2-character abbreviations that represent 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 or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that manages the registrations and determines the preconditions that each concrete top-level domain name may contain, such as the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to customers and manage all domain name resource records.

Gain Cash From Trading Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain cash from offering domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can begin your own web business. Regularly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more persons in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be known 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 customer pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Trade Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will have a web site hosting CP where you can set the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide billing management software and design themes for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the whole process combined with the growing demand for domain names make the domain reseller business so desirable. You will either obtain a pre-developed website and use the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own personal web site and order form. Normally, you have the option to choose between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your very own brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Money From Providing Web Space Hosting Solutions As Well

A sensible addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to individuals who wish to establish their web page and need both a domain and a webspace hosting plan. Some corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free billing management software to charge your customers. You can then sell domain names and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they offer lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to users from all over the globe.
