Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing platform that generates new ways to earn cash online. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end customers, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is an enlarging marketing niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name includes 2 components - 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 and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most conventional domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names consist of two-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that manages the registrations and sets the preconditions that each particular TLD may have, including the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain name records.

Gain Revenue From Trading Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to gain revenue from selling domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your very own personal web business. As a rule, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can reach more persons in regions or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on 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 TLDs On Behalf Of Your Own Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will have a web page hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoice software and web site templates for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire process combined with the big demand for domain names make the domain name reseller industry so tempting. You will either receive a pre-developed website and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal website and order form. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to choose between the 2 options, so it all depends on how trained you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your very own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Cash From Selling Web Page Hosting Plans As Well

A good addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to persons who desire to build their web page and demand both a domain and a web hosting package. Some companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge billing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then offer domain names and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they provide many different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all around the globe.
