Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding community that supplies new opportunities to make cash on the Internet. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end customers, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is a growing trading niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain comprises two pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the best known domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs involve two-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given top-level domain name may include, such as the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to customers and administer all DNS records.

Make Profit From Reselling Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain revenue from offering domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can initiate your own web business. Regularly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more individuals in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Offer Domains Under Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will get a web site hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide billing management software and site templates for your online store, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the enlarging demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market niche so alluring. You will either acquire a ready-for-use site and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own web portal and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the option to pick between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how skilled you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your very own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Reselling Webspace Hosting Services Too

A nice supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to customers who wish to build their online portal and require both a domain and a site hosting package. A number of firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free billing transaction software to bill your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to people from all around the globe.
