Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing network that offers new opportunities to earn money online. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end clients, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domains, so this is a developing marketing niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain contains two pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain 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 common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs are made of two-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that manages the registrations and sets the preconditions that each concrete TLD may contain, among them the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to customers and administer all domain name resource records.

Make Revenue From Offering Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to gain money from offering domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can initiate your own web business. Generally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can reach more individuals in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Trade TLDs On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will have a site hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide billing software and web design themes for your online shop, and the automation of the whole process together with the great demand for domains render the domain reseller business so seductive. You will either receive a ready-made site and avail of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own personal portal and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the opportunity to select between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how accomplished you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your own trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Profit From Promoting Web Page Hosting Solutions As Well

A relevant supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to individuals who wish to have their web portal and demand both a domain name and a web space hosting account. Particular companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoicing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting plans to clients, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to persons from all around the world.
