Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding network that provides new possibilities to make cash on the Web. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and offer domains to end clients, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a blossoming trading niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name is composed of two parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the best known domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names consist of 2-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given TLD may have, such as the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all DNS resource records.

Gain Money From Reselling Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to earn cash from offering domains to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can launch your very own electronic business. Commonly, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can contact more people in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on 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.

Resell Domains Under Your Own Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will get a website hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide billing transaction software and web design themes for your online store, and the automation of the whole process together with the big demand for domains render the domain name reseller market so seductive. You will either receive a pre-built site and utilize 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 very own portal and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the option to decide between the 2 options, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your very own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Cash From Promoting Web Page Hosting Solutions Too

A nice supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to persons who desire to make their web portal and need both a domain and a webspace hosting plan. Some companies supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoice transaction software to bill your clients. You can then sell domains and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to users from all over the globe.
