Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-enlarging community that delivers new ways to gain cash on the Web. One of these opportunities is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end clients, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domains, so this is a growing trading niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most widespread domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names include 2-character abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and determines the preconditions that each particular TLD may include, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and administer all DNS records.

Make Revenue From Trading Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain money from selling domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kickstart your very own personal electronic business. Usually, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can contact more clients in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Trade Domain Names Under Your Very Own Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will have a web site hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the separate TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer billing software and web design skins for your web store, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the increasing demand for domain names render the domain reseller business niche so tempting. You will either have a pre-made web site and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own web page and order form. Typically, you have the option to decide between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Money From Providing Hosting Services As Well

A logical supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to clients who wish to make their online portal and require both a domain name and a web hosting package. A few firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge billing transaction software to bill your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting packages to clients, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to clients from all around the globe.
