Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing community that furnishes new opportunities to make money online. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end customers, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is an enlarging trading niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name involves two entities - 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 SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most widely used domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names include 2-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each concrete TLD may involve, among them the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to clients and handle all DNS records.

Make Profit From Reselling Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make profit from selling domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your very own electronic business. Generally, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more customers in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Trade Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will get a web page hosting CP where you can select the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer billing transaction software and web design layouts for your web store, and the automation of the whole process combined with the big demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business so attractive. You will either acquire a ready-made site and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own web portal and order form. Generally, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your very own personal brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Money From Providing Web Hosting Solutions Too

A reasonable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to clients who want to have their website and demand both a domain name and a site hosting plan. Particular corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free invoice management software to charge your clients. You can then sell TLDs and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they offer lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to individuals from all over the globe.
