Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing community that provides new options to make cash on the Internet. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end customers, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is a developing trading niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most conventional domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs are composed of 2-character abbreviations that represent 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 gTLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and sets the requirements that each specific top-level domain name may entail, including the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain name resource records.

Make Profit From Reselling Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make profit from selling domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can launch your very own e-business. Generally, a domain name 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 cause is that resellers can contact more users in areas 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 client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Trade Domains On Behalf Of Your Own Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will acquire a web hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer billing software and design layouts for your online shop, and the automation of the entire process together with the swelling demand for domain names make the domain reseller market so attractive. You will either receive a ready-to-use website and avail of the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own personal web site and order form. Commonly, you have the option to choose between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Promoting Site Hosting Accounts Too

A good supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to persons who want to build their online portal and require both a domain and a website hosting account. Given firms have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoice management software to charge your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting plans to customers, and since they offer a lot of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to users from all over the globe.
