Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing network that delivers new options to earn money on the Internet. One of these options is to be a domain reseller and offer domain names to end users, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is a blooming marketing niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name is composed of 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 TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains consist of 2-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each given TLD may have, among them the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to customers and handle all domain name resource records.

Make Revenue From Offering Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to earn cash from offering domains to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can initiate your very own Internet business. Regularly, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more individuals in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be popular 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 client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Offer Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Own Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will receive a web page hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the various top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer invoicing transaction software and web site skins for your virtual shop, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the proliferating demand for domains render the domain name reseller business niche so seductive. You will either acquire a ready-for-use site and use the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own personal web page and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the option to pick between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how trained you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Promoting Web Site Hosting Accounts As Well

A good addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to users who would like to build their web portal and require both a domain name and a site hosting plan. A few corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoicing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell TLDs and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer many different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to people from all around the world.
