Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing community that supplies new opportunities to gain cash on the Internet. One of these options is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end users, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is an enlarging business niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain consists of 2 entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most widespread domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs include 2-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and sets the preconditions that each particular top-level domain name may have, including the duration of the registration term 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 manage all DNS resource records.

Gain Cash From Offering Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn money from selling domains to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can begin your own Internet business. Usually, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more individuals in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Resell TLDs Under Your Very Own Brand

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web page hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide billing software and site skins for your online storefront, and the automation of the entire process together with the large demand for domains make the domain name reseller market so alluring. You will either get a pre-developed site and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own personal web site and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the opportunity to decide between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Cash From Selling Web Site Hosting Solutions Too

A reasonable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to people who wish to create their online portal and need both a domain name and a site hosting package. A number of firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free billing software to charge your customers. You can then sell domain names and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they provide many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the globe.
