Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-enlarging system that provides new ways to earn cash online. One of these ways is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end clients, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently active domains, so this is an increasing business niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain comprises 2 pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most popular domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs involve two-character abbreviations that stand for 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 manages the registrations and sets the preconditions that each specific top-level domain name may have, among them the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain records.

Gain Cash From Offering Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn revenue from offering domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can commence your own personal web business. Usually, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can contact more users in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Trade Domain Names Under Your Own Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will receive a web hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer invoice software and web templates for your online storefront, and the automation of the entire process combined with the towering demand for domains render the domain name reseller market so tempting. You will either have a pre-built site and use the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own site and order form. Usually, you have the option to choose between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how skilled you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Promoting Web Page Hosting Services Too

An adequate addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to persons who want to manage their website and need both a domain and a website hosting account. Certain firms have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free billing management software to bill your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they provide many diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to customers from all over the globe.
