Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing platform that furnishes new possibilities to make money on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is an increasing marketing niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain involves two pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most popular domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names comprise two-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each concrete TLD may impose, including the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain records.

Gain Profit From Offering Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn profit from selling domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can launch your very own personal online business. Regularly, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can reach more customers in local communities or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. 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 customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Offer Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a hosting CP where you can select the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide invoice transaction software and site layouts for your web shop, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the growing demand for domains render the domain name reseller business so seductive. You will either get a pre-built website and make use of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own online portal and order form. Typically, you have the opportunity to pick between the two options, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Money From Trading Web Site Hosting Accounts Too

A proper addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to people who wish to make their web portal and need both a domain name and a site hosting plan. A number of companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoice management software to charge your clients. You can then sell domain names and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer many different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
