Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing community that generates new ways to gain cash on the Internet. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is a growing trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name includes two entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most conventional domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names comprise 2-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each concrete TLD may contain, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to clients and administer all DNS records.

Gain Profit From Reselling Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to gain profit from selling domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can initiate your very own personal electronic business. Normally, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more customers in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will have a web page hosting CP where you can set the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer billing transaction software and web themes for your web shop, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the considerable demand for domains render the domain reseller industry so tempting. You will either receive a pre-developed 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 set up your own web portal and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to pick between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how skillful you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your very own personal brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Profit From Offering Website Hosting Accounts Too

A reasonable supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to users who wish to establish their web page and need both a domain and a web site hosting package. A few corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge billing software to charge your customers. You can then sell domain names and shared hosting plans to clients, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
