Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing community that furnishes new possibilities to gain money on the Web. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end customers, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is a blooming trading niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain comprises two constituents - a Top-Level Domain (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 second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the best known domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names consist of two-character abbreviations that symbolize 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 or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each particular TLD may entail, among them the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and manage all DNS records.

Gain Revenue From Offering Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make profit from selling domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can launch your own personal web business. Typically, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more persons in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit 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.

Resell Domains Under Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will have a web hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide billing transaction software and web design skins for your online store, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the high demand for domains make the domain name reseller market so attractive. You will either obtain a ready-made web site and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal web site and order form. Commonly, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Profit From Reselling Web Site Hosting Plans Too

A suitable supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to customers who would like to run their web page and need both a domain name and a hosting package. Particular firms supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoice management software to bill your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the globe.
