Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding system that delivers new possibilities to earn cash on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end users, earning profit 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 currently active domains, so this is an expanding business niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name comprises two constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most widespread domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains include two-letter abbreviations that stand for 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 one, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each concrete Top-Level Domain may impose, including the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all DNS records.

Earn Revenue From Trading Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make revenue from selling domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can establish your very own personal Internet business. Usually, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can contact more persons in local communities or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Trade Domain Names Under Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a site hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the various top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoice management software and templates for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the great demand for domains make the domain reseller market niche so attractive. You will either have a pre-developed site and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal site and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the option to pick between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how trained you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your very own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Selling Web Site Hosting Services As Well

A relevant addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to customers who desire to establish their site and need both a domain and a web space hosting plan. Certain companies have 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 reseller account and free-of-charge invoice transaction software to bill your clients. You can then sell domain names and shared website hosting packages to customers, and since they provide lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to individuals from all over the world.
