Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing system that delivers new possibilities to gain cash on the Web. One of them is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end users, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of currently active domain names, so this is a growing marketing niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain consists of 2 components - 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 Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the best known domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs are made 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 TLD, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that manages the registrations and sets the preconditions that each given top-level domain name may entail, including the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to customers and manage all domain records.

Earn Revenue From Offering Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to make revenue from selling domain names to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can launch your own Internet business. Regularly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can reach more people in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Offer TLDs Under Your Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a website hosting CP where you can select the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer invoice transaction software and web site layouts for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the enormous demand for domains render the domain name reseller market niche so seductive. You will either obtain a ready-made site and make use of the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own personal web portal and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the opportunity to pick between the two options, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your own personal brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Supplying Site Hosting Packages Too

A good supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thus, you can give a package deal to individuals who desire to run their web page and require both a domain and a web space hosting account. Particular companies supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoice management software to bill your customers. You can then sell TLDs and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they provide lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to clients from all over the world.
