Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing community that delivers new opportunities to gain money on the Web. One of them is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end users, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of presently active domain names, so this is a flourishing marketing niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the best known domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names consist of 2-letter abbreviations that denote 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 Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each concrete top-level domain name may include, like the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to clients and administer all DNS records.

Earn Profit From Reselling Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn money from offering domain names to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can kickstart your own online business. Typically, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more individuals in regions or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a 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 registration.

Resell Domains Under Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will receive a site hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer invoicing software and web page layouts for your online shop, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the enlarging demand for domain names render the domain reseller industry so desirable. You will either have a pre-made web site and utilize the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own web page and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the opportunity to pick between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your own brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Revenue From Offering Web Page Hosting Solutions Too

A suitable supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thus, you can give a package deal to users who want to manage their web page and require both a domain and a website hosting package. Given companies supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing software to bill your customers. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared hosting plans to customers, and since they offer lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all around the world.
