Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing network that offers new opportunities to earn money online. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and offer domain names to end clients, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of presently active domains, so this is an enlarging marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most popular domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs involve 2-character abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and sets the requirements that each particular Top-Level Domain may have, such as the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain resource records.

Earn Money From Offering Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to earn revenue from selling domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your own personal electronic business. As a rule, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can reach more users in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Trade Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a CP where you can select the prices for the separate TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide invoicing software and skins for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the towering demand for domains make the domain name reseller business niche so attractive. You will either get a pre-built site and avail of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own web page and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the option to pick between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your very own brand and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Profit From Providing Web Hosting Accounts Too

A sensible addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to persons who wish to create their online portal and demand both a domain and a webspace hosting plan. Particular firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoicing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting packages to customers, and since they offer lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to customers from all around the globe.
