Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing community that furnishes new ways to earn money on the Web. One of these opportunities is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end clients, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a growing marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name is made of two constituents - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most popular domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs involve two-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and sets the preconditions that each concrete top-level domain name may involve, like the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and administer all domain name records.

Gain Cash From Offering Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to gain profit from offering domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can begin your very own personal electronic business. As a rule, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can contact more clients in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will cash in on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will get a web space hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer billing transaction software and web page skins for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the immense demand for domain names make the domain reseller market niche so attractive. You will either have a ready-for-use website 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 build your own site and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how accomplished you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will work under your personal brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Profit From Promoting Web Space Hosting Solutions Too

An appropriate supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to clients who want to run their website and require both a domain name and a web page hosting package. Given corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoice management software to bill your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they provide many different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to people from all around the globe.
