Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing network that provides new options to earn cash online. One of them 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 and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is a blooming trading niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name is composed of 2 parts - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most widely used domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names involve 2-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given top-level domain name may have, among them the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to clients and administer all DNS resource records.

Earn Profit From Reselling Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to earn money from offering domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can establish your own personal online business. Regularly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more persons in areas or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will get a web hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide invoice transaction software and site skins for your online storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the flourishing demand for domains render the domain reseller business niche so attractive. You will either get a pre-developed web site and make use of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own website and order form. Generally, you have the option to decide between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Profit From Reselling Web Page Hosting Services As Well

An adequate supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thus, you can give a package deal to people who want to run their web site and require both a domain name and a site hosting account. Certain corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free invoice management software to bill your customers. You can then sell domains and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all around the globe.
