Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing community that provides new options to gain cash on the Internet. One of these options is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is a developing trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name contains 2 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 name and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

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 ccTLDs are composed of 2-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and sets the requirements that each particular TLD may have, 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 corporations that in fact sell the domain name to customers and handle all domain resource records.

Make Revenue From Reselling Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain money from offering domains to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can start your own e-business. As a rule, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more users in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Offer Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will get a web space hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide billing management software and design templates for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the high demand for domain names render the domain reseller business niche so alluring. You will either acquire a pre-built site and make use of the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own website and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to pick between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your very own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Profit From Reselling Site Hosting Packages Too

An adequate supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to users who desire to manage their web portal and need both a domain and a hosting account. Some firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge billing software to charge your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to persons from all over the globe.
