Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing network that delivers new ways to gain cash online. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and sell domains to end customers, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is a blooming trading niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name is made of 2 pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most widespread domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains are made of two-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each particular TLD may include, including the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain records.

Earn Cash From Selling Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn cash from selling domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can commence your own personal e-business. Regularly, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can contact more users in local communities or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Trade Top-Level Domains Under Your Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a website hosting Control Panel where you can set the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer billing transaction software and site themes for your virtual shop, and the automation of the entire process together with the proliferating demand for domains make the domain name reseller industry so desirable. You will either obtain a ready-made website and avail of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own portal and order form. Typically, you have the option to decide between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Profit From Promoting Website Hosting Packages Too

An appropriate supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to people who desire to set up their web page and need both a domain and a website hosting plan. Certain corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost billing management software to charge your clients. You can then sell domains and shared web hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all around the globe.
