Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing platform that generates new possibilities to gain money on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to become a domain reseller and sell domains to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of presently active domains, so this is an increasing trading niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most widespread domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names consist of 2-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each concrete Top-Level Domain may impose, including the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain records.

Make Profit From Trading Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to earn cash from offering domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can build your very own personal Internet business. Regularly, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more individuals in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Trade Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will acquire a web hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer billing transaction software and web page themes for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the significant demand for domains make the domain name reseller market so seductive. You will either obtain a pre-developed website and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own personal website and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the opportunity to decide between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Reselling Site Hosting Services As Well

A reasonable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to individuals who want to create their web portal and require both a domain and a hosting account. A few corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and cost-free billing software to charge your customers. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide a lot of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the world.
