Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging system that supplies new ways to earn cash on the Web. One of these options 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 domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is a growing trading niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain includes two pieces - 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 name and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the best known domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names are made of 2-letter abbreviations that denote 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 generic TLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and sets the preconditions that each specific TLD may impose, among them the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to customers and manage all DNS resource records.

Earn Money From Offering Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to make revenue from offering domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kick off your very own e-business. Commonly, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more individuals in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will make a profit from 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 Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer invoicing software and web page templates for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire process together with the immense demand for domains make the domain reseller industry so alluring. You will either get a ready-for-use web site and use the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal web site and order form. Generally, you have the option to pick between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your very own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Money From Promoting Web Site Hosting Packages As Well

A reasonable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. In this way, you can give a package deal to individuals who desire to have their online portal and demand both a domain and a web space hosting account. Certain corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run 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 charge your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they provide plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to people from all over the world.
