Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing system that supplies new possibilities to gain cash on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to become a domain reseller and offer domains to end users, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is a thriving marketing niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name contains 2 constituents - 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 Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most widespread domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains involve 2-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code TLDs 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 organization that tackles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific TLD may entail, like the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain name resource records.

Earn Revenue From Reselling Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to earn revenue from offering domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can build your very own web business. Regularly, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can contact more persons in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit 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 registration.

Sell Top-Level Domains Under Your Own Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a website hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer billing software and web layouts for your online storefront, and the automation of the entire process together with the increasing demand for domains make the domain reseller market niche so desirable. You will either have a pre-developed website and avail of the Registrar platform to sell 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. Usually, you have the option to choose between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your very own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Revenue From Promoting Web Site Hosting Accounts As Well

A proper addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to customers who want to establish their online portal and need both a domain name and a hosting account. A number of corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free invoice management software to bill your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they offer many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to individuals from all around the globe.
