Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging platform that provides new ways to gain money on the Internet. One of these options is to become a domain reseller and sell domains to end customers, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is an enlarging marketing niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the best known domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names are made of 2-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and sets the requirements that each specific top-level domain name may contain, among them the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain name records.

Earn Profit From Offering Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn money from selling domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can establish your own personal online business. Commonly, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more individuals in areas or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will have a hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide invoice management software and web site layouts for your online store, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the rising demand for domains render the domain name reseller market so seductive. You will either receive a ready-made site and make use of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own personal web page and order form. Typically, you have the opportunity to select between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your very own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Promoting Site Hosting Solutions As Well

A reasonable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. In this way, you can give a package deal to customers who wish to establish their online portal and require both a domain name and a web page hosting package. Particular corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free invoice management software to bill your customers. You can then sell TLDs and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they provide many diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to clients from all around the globe.
