Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding system that delivers new ways to gain cash on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end customers, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a developing trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain involves two entities - 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.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most conventional domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains contain two-character abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific Top-Level Domain may involve, including the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain records.

Earn Cash From Trading Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn money from offering domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your own personal e-business. Commonly, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more clients in areas or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Trade Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will have a site hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer billing software and web site themes for your online storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the enlarging demand for domain names render the domain name reseller market so attractive. You will either get a pre-made site and avail of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own personal web portal and order form. Typically, you have the option to select between the two options, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your own personal brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Profit From Selling Web Hosting Solutions As Well

A logical addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to users who would like to run their web site and need both a domain and a web page hosting package. A number of companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and charge-free billing management software to charge your clients. You can then offer domains and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they provide many different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to individuals from all over the world.
