Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing community that delivers new ways to make cash on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end users, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of presently active domains, so this is a flowering marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name includes 2 pieces - 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.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the best known domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs comprise 2-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and sets the preconditions that each specific TLD may contain, like the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain name resource records.

Make Revenue From Reselling Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to earn money from selling domain names to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can initiate your very own personal e-business. Typically, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can reach more people in areas or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will cash in on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Trade Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will acquire a webspace hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide invoice software and web design themes for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire process together with the swelling demand for domains make the domain name reseller industry so alluring. You will either have a ready-to-use site and make use of the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own web portal and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the opportunity to choose between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Providing Web Page Hosting Services As Well

An appropriate supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to individuals who wish to manage their web portal and demand both a domain and a webspace hosting package. Certain firms have 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 name reseller account and free-of-charge billing software to charge your clients. You can then sell domains and shared website hosting packages to clients, and since they provide lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to clients from all over the world.
