Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing system that furnishes new options to gain cash on the Web. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end clients, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is a blossoming marketing niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name comprises 2 components - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most conventional domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains consist of two-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and determines the requirements that each particular TLD may contain, among them the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to customers and handle all domain name records.

Make Cash From Selling Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to gain money from offering domain names to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can establish your own electronic business. Regularly, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight 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 make a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Sell Domains Under Your Very Own Personal Brand

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will receive a webspace hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide invoicing software and web page layouts for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole process together with the enlarging demand for domain names make the domain reseller market niche so desirable. You will either acquire a ready-for-use site and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own site and order form. Normally, you have the opportunity to pick between the two options, so it all depends on how proficient you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your own brand and not under the Registrar's.

Make Money From Trading Webspace Hosting Accounts As Well

A logical addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to users who want to make their web site and demand both a domain and a web site hosting plan. Certain companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and cost-free billing management software to bill your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they offer a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to clients from all over the world.
