Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing community that furnishes new ways to gain money on the Internet. One of these possibilities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end customers, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is a flowering marketing niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain contains two constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".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 TLDs comprise the best known domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs consist of 2-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given Top-Level Domain may contain, such as the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and manage all DNS records.

Make Profit From Selling Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make revenue from selling domains to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can initiate your very own electronic business. Commonly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can reach more users in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will get a site hosting CP where you can select the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide invoice transaction software and themes for your web shop, and the automation of the entire process combined with the swelling demand for domain names render the domain reseller industry so desirable. You will either have a turn-key web site and avail of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own portal and order form. Typically, you have the opportunity to choose between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Money From Reselling Web Site Hosting Packages Too

A logical addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to individuals who would like to have their web page and demand both a domain name and a web hosting account. Some companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoice transaction software to bill your customers. You can then sell TLDs and shared website hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer plenty of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to clients from all around the globe.
