Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing network that delivers new opportunities to make money online. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and offer domain names to end users, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently active domain names, so this is a blooming marketing niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name involves two entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the best known domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names include two-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each concrete top-level domain name may contain, among them the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to customers and manage all domain name resource records.

Earn Revenue From Trading Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make profit from offering domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can initiate your own e-business. Commonly, a domain name 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 reason is that resellers can reach more persons in regions or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies 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 requires for the domain registration.

Resell Domain Names Under Your Own Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a CP where you can set the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide billing transaction software and themes for your online store, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the proliferating demand for domain names render the domain name reseller business so desirable. You will either acquire a ready-for-use site and utilize the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own site and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your own trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Profit From Promoting Web Space Hosting Services As Well

A good supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to customers who desire to make their web page and demand both a domain and a web page hosting account. Given firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free billing management software to bill your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they provide lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the world.
