Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing network that supplies new ways to gain cash on the Web. One of these options is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is a growing business niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name comprises two entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most popular domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs comprise two-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each particular top-level domain name may contain, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to customers and administer all domain resource records.

Gain Money From Offering Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain profit from offering domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can begin your own online business. Generally, 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 customer. The explanation is that resellers can contact more customers in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit 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.

Sell Domain Names Under Your Very Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a website hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoice software and design templates for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole process together with the significant demand for domain names render the domain name reseller business niche so tempting. You will either get a pre-made site and avail of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own portal and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Money From Providing Web Page Hosting Accounts As Well

An appropriate addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to people who want to build their site and require both a domain name and a site hosting plan. Some firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free invoice management software to bill your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared hosting packages to clients, and since they provide lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to users from all over the world.
