Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing system that furnishes new possibilities to gain cash on the Internet. One of these options is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end clients, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is a flowering marketing niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most common domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs contain two-character abbreviations that denote each country. Instances 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 or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each particular Top-Level Domain may involve, including the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to customers and manage all domain records.

Gain Profit From Selling Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make profit from selling domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can set up your own personal Internet business. Regularly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can reach more people in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies 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 levies for the domain name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a web page hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoice transaction software and web design skins for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire process together with the flourishing demand for domains make the domain name reseller business so seductive. You will either acquire a ready-for-use site and avail of 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 site and order form. Normally, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your very own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Profit From Trading Web Page Hosting Solutions Too

A sensible 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 would like to make their site and need both a domain name and a web page hosting account. A few firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoice transaction software to charge your customers. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they provide lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to people from all around the world.
