Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing community that delivers new possibilities to make money on the Internet. One of them is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end clients, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is a developing business niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain comprises 2 entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain 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 such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains consist of 2-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each particular top-level domain name may include, among them the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to customers and manage all DNS records.

Earn Revenue From Selling Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make money from selling domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can initiate your own personal Internet business. Typically, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more people in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Trade Domain Names Under Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a website hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoice transaction software and web page skins for your online store, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the swelling demand for domain names render the domain reseller industry so desirable. You will either obtain a turn-key site and use the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal web portal and order form. Typically, you have the option to decide between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Profit From Offering Web Space Hosting Solutions As Well

A logical addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to people who want to make their web page and demand both a domain name and a web site hosting account. A number of firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and charge-free billing management software to charge your customers. You can then sell domains and shared web hosting plans to customers, and since they offer plenty of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the globe.
