Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing community that generates new options to make cash on the Web. One of them is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end customers, gaining 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 millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is a thriving marketing niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name is composed of 2 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 SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the best known domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs consist of 2-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete top-level domain name may entail, like the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain name records.

Gain Cash From Reselling Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain profit from offering domains to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can set up your own personal web business. Regularly, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more users in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Sell Top-Level Domains Under Your Very Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will receive a hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoice management software and web design themes for your online store, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the proliferating demand for domain names make the domain reseller industry so seductive. You will either obtain a turn-key site and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own personal site and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the option to pick between the two options, 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 on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Revenue From Providing Web Site Hosting Solutions As Well

A proper addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to persons who would like to set up their website and demand both a domain name and a hosting plan. Certain companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoice transaction software to charge your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the globe.
