Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing system that delivers new ways to make cash on the Internet. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end clients, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are millions of presently active domain names, so this is an increasing trading niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain is composed of 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 TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most common domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names comprise two-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each particular Top-Level Domain may include, such as the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain resource records.

Earn Revenue From Selling Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain cash from selling domain names to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can start your own personal Internet business. Usually, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more users in regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from 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.

Offer Top-Level Domains Under Your Own Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will get a web hosting CP where you can set the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide billing management software and templates for your web store, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the flourishing demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business so attractive. You will either have a ready-to-use web site and use the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own personal web site and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the option to choose between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Revenue From Promoting Web Space Hosting Plans Too

An adequate supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to persons who desire to manage their web page and require both a domain name and a web page hosting account. Particular firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free billing management software to bill your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting packages to customers, and since they offer plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to clients from all around the globe.
