Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing system that delivers new options to earn cash on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end clients, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is an enlarging trading niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain comprises 2 constituents - 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 name and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most popular domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names involve 2-character abbreviations that symbolize 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, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given Top-Level Domain may impose, like the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain name resource records.

Gain Revenue From Reselling Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn revenue from offering domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can kick off your own personal web business. Normally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can contact more customers in regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Sell Top-Level Domains Under Your Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web site hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer billing management software and skins for your online shop, and the automation of the entire process together with the swelling demand for domains make the domain name reseller business niche so attractive. You will either obtain a pre-developed website and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own online portal and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to choose between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will operate under your own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Revenue From Trading Hosting Accounts As Well

An excellent addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thus, you can give a package deal to persons who desire to develop their web page and require both a domain name and a webspace hosting plan. A number of firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge billing software to bill your clients. You can then sell domains and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the world.
