Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing system that provides new possibilities to earn cash on the Web. One of them is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end users, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each 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 flowering marketing niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain is composed of two pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the best known domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs involve two-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each particular Top-Level Domain may involve, including the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and manage all DNS resource records.

Make Cash From Trading Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make cash from offering domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can establish your own Internet business. Regularly, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can contact more people in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Trade Domains Under Your Own Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a CP where you can determine the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoice software and design templates for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the increasing demand for domains render the domain name reseller industry so attractive. You will either obtain a pre-made site and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal web page and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the option to select between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your very own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Cash From Reselling Site Hosting Packages As Well

A good addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to persons who desire to launch their web portal and require both a domain and a web space hosting account. Given firms supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free invoicing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then offer domain names and shared website hosting packages to clients, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to clients from all around the world.
