Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing system that offers new ways to gain money online. One of these possibilities is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end clients, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a flourishing business niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain contains two constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".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 Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most common domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names contain 2-character abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the preconditions that each given Top-Level Domain may have, among them the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to clients and administer all DNS resource records.

Gain Money From Selling Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make cash from selling domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can initiate your very own web business. Typically, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more clients in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Sell Domain Names Under Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will get a web page hosting CP where you can set the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer billing transaction software and web design templates for your web shop, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the vast demand for domains make the domain reseller business so attractive. You will either acquire a ready-to-use site and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own site and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the option to choose between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your very own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Money From Providing Webspace Hosting Accounts As Well

A nice supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thus, you can give a package deal to clients who wish to establish their website and demand both a domain and a web hosting package. Some companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoice transaction software to bill your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they provide a lot of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
