Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing network that furnishes new opportunities to earn cash online. One of them is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end customers, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is a flourishing marketing niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain contains two entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most conventional domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs are composed of 2-character abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, 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 requirements that each specific top-level domain name may involve, like the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to clients and manage all domain resource records.

Make Profit From Selling Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make profit from offering domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can begin your very own personal e-business. As a rule, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via 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 provinces or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Offer TLDs Under Your Very Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a site hosting Control Panel where you can set the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer invoice software and layouts for your online store, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the rising demand for domains render the domain reseller business so alluring. You will either get a pre-made website and use the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own online portal and order form. Commonly, you have the opportunity to pick between the two options, so it all revolves around how skilled you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Offering Web Site Hosting Solutions As Well

A good supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to people who want to launch their online portal and demand both a domain and a web space hosting account. Given companies supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and cost-free invoice transaction software to charge your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
