Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing platform that offers new possibilities to make cash on the Web. One of these ways is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end clients, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is a blossoming marketing niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name consists of 2 entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most widely used domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs comprise 2-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and determines the preconditions that each concrete top-level domain name may have, such as the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and administer all domain name resource records.

Gain Cash From Reselling Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to gain profit from offering domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kickstart your own electronic business. Typically, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more individuals in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Sell Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will have a web site hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide invoicing software and templates for your web shop, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the enlarging demand for domain names make the domain name reseller industry so seductive. You will either obtain a ready-to-use web site and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own site and order form. Typically, you have the opportunity to select between the two options, so it all depends on how advanced you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will operate under your very own brand and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Selling Web Space Hosting Accounts As Well

A suitable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to customers who want to have their web page and demand both a domain name and a hosting plan. Some firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing software to charge your customers. You can then sell domain names and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they offer lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to persons from all around the world.
