Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing network that generates new possibilities to gain cash on the Internet. One of these ways is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end customers, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is a growing trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain comprises 2 entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs contain two-letter abbreviations that stand for 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 name or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that manages the registrations and determines the preconditions that each concrete TLD may contain, such as the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to clients and handle all DNS records.

Gain Cash From Trading Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make profit from selling domains to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can launch your own Internet business. As a rule, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can reach more individuals in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. 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 customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Trade Domains On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will receive a web space hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoice software and web design layouts for your online shop, and the automation of the entire process together with the proliferating demand for domains render the domain reseller business so seductive. You will either receive a ready-to-use web site and make use of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own personal site and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Supplying Web Page Hosting Accounts Too

An adequate supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to customers who would like to create their website and demand both a domain and a web site hosting account. Some firms supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free invoicing transaction software to bill your clients. You can then sell TLDs and shared hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to persons from all over the globe.
