Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing network that generates new options to gain money online. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end users, gaining revenue 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 presently active domains, so this is a developing business niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain consists of 2 entities - 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 TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most popular domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs comprise 2-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and determines the preconditions that each concrete TLD may involve, including the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to clients and administer all DNS resource records.

Make Profit From Reselling Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to earn revenue from offering domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can commence your very own personal Internet business. Typically, 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 user. The cause is that resellers can reach more users in regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Resell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will get a webspace hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer billing software and web design layouts for your online shop, and the automation of the whole process together with the vast demand for domains render the domain name reseller business niche so alluring. You will either have a ready-for-use site and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own personal online portal and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the option to choose between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your very own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Revenue From Trading Web Hosting Solutions As Well

A sensible addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. In this way, you can give a package deal to individuals who would like to run their web portal and demand both a domain and a site hosting plan. A number of companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoice management software to charge your customers. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer many different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to users from all around the globe.
