Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing system that provides new ways to earn cash on the Web. One of these opportunities is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end clients, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is an enlarging trading niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name comprises 2 entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD 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 popular domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names comprise two-character abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each given Top-Level Domain may have, among them the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to clients and manage all DNS records.

Gain Cash From Trading Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to gain profit from offering domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can build your very own electronic business. As a rule, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more people in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Trade Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will obtain a website hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoicing transaction software and web site templates for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the rising demand for domains render the domain reseller market so tempting. You will either get a pre-made site and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own website and order form. Typically, you have the option to pick between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how trained you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your very own personal brand and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Money From Offering Webspace Hosting Solutions As Well

An adequate supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to people who wish to build their online portal and need both a domain and a site hosting account. A few corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free invoice management software to charge your customers. You can then offer domain names and shared web hosting plans to customers, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all over the world.
