Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing community that delivers new ways to make cash on the Web. One of these possibilities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end clients, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is an expanding marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain contains 2 components - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most popular domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs comprise two-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples 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 ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and determines the requirements that each given TLD may contain, such as the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain name records.

Gain Cash From Selling Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain money from selling domains to end users. If you register with such a program, you can start your very own electronic business. Generally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more people in regional communities or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. 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 customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Trade Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will get a web page hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide billing management software and site layouts for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the big demand for domains make the domain name reseller business so alluring. You will either acquire a turn-key site and use the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal web site and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will do business on behalf of your very own brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Cash From Promoting Web Hosting Plans Too

A reasonable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to users who wish to establish their site and require both a domain and a webspace hosting account. Some corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and cost-free billing software to charge your clients. You can then sell TLDs and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they provide lots of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to users from all around the world.
