Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding platform that delivers new ways to earn cash online. One of them is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end clients, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of presently active domains, so this is a growing business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain is composed of two pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs are made of two-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a gTLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each concrete top-level domain name may contain, among them the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to clients and manage all domain resource records.

Gain Cash From Offering Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to make revenue from offering domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kick off your own online business. Generally, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can reach more persons in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. 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 client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Trade Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Brand

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer billing management software and layouts for your virtual shop, and the automation of the whole process combined with the significant demand for domains make the domain name reseller market niche so alluring. You will either acquire a pre-developed web site and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own web page and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the option to select between the 2 options, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your very own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Money From Trading Web Site Hosting Solutions As Well

A nice supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to persons who want to set up their web site and demand both a domain name and a web site hosting account. A number of companies have 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 name reseller account and free billing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then sell domain names and shared hosting plans to customers, and since they provide lots of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to people from all around the globe.
