Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding community that supplies new ways to earn money on the Web. One of these opportunities is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end clients, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is an expanding trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name includes 2 parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most conventional domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs involve two-character abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of ccTLDs 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 top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each particular TLD may have, including the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and administer all DNS records.

Gain Money From Trading Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain profit from offering domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can build your own web business. Generally, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can reach more persons in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will cash in on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Offer Domain Names Under Your Own Brand

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will receive a website hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer billing software and web layouts for your online store, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the proliferating demand for domain names render the domain reseller market so tempting. You will either receive a turn-key website and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own personal web page and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the option to choose between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your very own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Money From Reselling Hosting Packages Too

An adequate supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to users who desire to set up their web site and need both a domain and a website hosting account. A number of corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoice software to bill your customers. You can then sell domain names and shared web hosting packages to clients, and since they offer plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all over the globe.
