Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing system that delivers new opportunities to make cash on the Internet. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and offer domains to end customers, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is a blooming trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name includes 2 parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most popular domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs involve two-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and sets the requirements that each specific TLD may include, like the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to customers and handle all DNS records.

Gain Profit From Reselling Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain revenue from selling domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can set up your very own electronic business. Generally, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more individuals in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides 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 registration.

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

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will receive a website hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoicing transaction software and design skins for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the increasing demand for domain names render the domain name reseller industry so alluring. You will either receive a ready-for-use website and avail of the Registrar system to sell 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 portal and order form. Normally, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your very own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Cash From Offering Web Space Hosting Plans Too

An appropriate supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to individuals who desire to make their online portal and require both a domain and a webspace hosting plan. Given corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing software to bill your customers. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared website hosting packages to customers, and since they provide lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to individuals from all over the world.
