Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing community that supplies new opportunities to earn cash on the Web. One of these options is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is an expanding marketing niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain consists of two entities - a top-level domain name (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 second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most common domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs are composed of two-letter abbreviations that symbolize 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 top-level domain name or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and determines the preconditions that each particular Top-Level Domain may entail, among them the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to clients and administer all domain records.

Make Revenue From Offering Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn revenue from offering domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can kickstart your own personal Internet business. As a rule, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more people in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Offer Domains Under Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will receive a web site hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide billing transaction software and design skins for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole process combined with the vast demand for domain names render the domain reseller industry so tempting. You will either acquire a pre-made website and use the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal web page and order form. Generally, you have the option to select between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your personal brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Money From Trading Web Space Hosting Services Too

A nice addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to users who desire to establish their site and demand both a domain and a web space hosting package. Given firms have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoicing software to charge your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared hosting plans to clients, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to customers from all over the globe.
