Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging system that generates new options to make cash on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end customers, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a blooming marketing niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most conventional domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs comprise two-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Examples 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 name or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each given top-level domain name may include, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to customers and handle all DNS records.

Gain Profit From Offering Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make money from offering domains to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can begin your very own web business. Generally, a domain name will be more inexpensive 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 contact more individuals in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Offer Domain Names Under Your Very Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will get a web page hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide invoicing software and website layouts for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the great demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market niche so alluring. You will either receive a turn-key web site and make use of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal website and order form. Typically, you have the option to pick between the two options, so it all revolves around how skillful you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Revenue From Offering Site Hosting Accounts As Well

A reasonable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to clients who want to build their site and need both a domain and a web page hosting plan. Certain companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoice software to bill your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to people from all around the globe.
