Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing community that provides new options to make money online. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end users, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is a developing business niche that you can become engaged 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 take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most widespread domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs contain 2-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples 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 TLD, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and sets the preconditions that each given TLD may have, including the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to clients and administer all domain name records.

Earn Cash From Trading Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to earn revenue from selling domain names to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can set up your very own e-business. Commonly, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more clients in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Trade TLDs Under Your Own Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a web page hosting CP where you can select the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide invoicing transaction software and web design skins for your online shop, and the automation of the entire process together with the expanding demand for domains make the domain name reseller business niche so seductive. You will either get a ready-to-use website and avail of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own personal web portal and order form. Commonly, you have the option to decide between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your own personal brand and not under the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Trading Web Page Hosting Solutions As Well

A proper supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to customers who want to have their online portal and require both a domain and a website hosting account. Certain firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free billing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then sell domain names and shared hosting plans to customers, and since they offer lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to clients from all over the world.
