Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing platform that furnishes new ways to gain cash on the Web. One of these options is to become a domain reseller and sell domains to end users, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is a blossoming marketing niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain comprises 2 pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most widely used domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs include two-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete TLD may contain, among them the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to clients and manage all DNS records.

Make Money From Trading Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn profit from selling domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can establish your very own personal electronic business. Normally, a domain will cost less 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 contact more persons in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Trade TLDs Under Your Very Own Brand Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a web site hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoice transaction software and site templates for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the rising demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market so alluring. You will either acquire a pre-built site and avail of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own web page and order form. Generally, you have the opportunity to select between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how expert you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your very own brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Cash From Offering Webspace Hosting Plans As Well

A nice supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to clients who wish to launch their online portal and require both a domain name and a website hosting plan. A number of firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoice transaction software to charge your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared hosting plans 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 over the globe.
