Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing network that offers new options to gain cash online. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is a blooming marketing niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name is composed of 2 parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most common domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs contain two-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and sets the preconditions that each specific TLD may entail, such as the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain name resource records.

Make Money From Offering Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn money from offering domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can kickstart your own e-business. As a rule, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more people in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will cash in on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Trade Domain Names Under Your Very Own Brand Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a site hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide billing transaction software and layouts for your online shop, and the automation of the whole process combined with the considerable demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business so seductive. You will either obtain a ready-made web site and make use of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own portal and order form. Typically, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your very own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Cash From Reselling Web Page Hosting Solutions As Well

A good addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to clients who want to make their web page and demand both a domain name and a web page hosting package. Some firms supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and cost-free invoice management software to bill your customers. You can then offer domain names and shared hosting plans to clients, and since they provide plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all over the world.
