Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding network that provides new options to make cash on the Web. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end customers, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is a flowering business niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain involves two components - 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 Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most famous domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains involve two-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each particular Top-Level Domain may include, among them the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain name resource records.

Make Profit From Trading Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain cash from offering domain names to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can begin your own personal online business. Commonly, a domain will cost less 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 reach more individuals in regional communities or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will profit from 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.

Resell Domain Names Under Your Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will obtain a web page hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide billing management software and web page templates for your online store, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the significant demand for domains make the domain name reseller business so tempting. You will either receive a ready-made web site and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal online portal and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the option to select between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your own trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Money From Trading Webspace Hosting Services As Well

A good addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to customers who wish to manage their web site and require both a domain and a website hosting plan. Certain corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free billing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to individuals from all around the globe.
