Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing network that generates new options to earn cash on the Web. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end clients, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is a flowering trading niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain is composed of 2 constituents - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most popular domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names involve two-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and sets the preconditions that each given Top-Level Domain may include, such as the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to customers and manage all DNS records.

Earn Cash From Selling Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make profit from offering domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can begin your very own Internet business. Normally, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can contact more customers in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will earn 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 name registration.

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

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will receive a web site hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoice software and web design skins for your online storefront, and the automation of the whole process combined with the flourishing demand for domains make the domain name reseller business so tempting. You will either acquire a ready-made web site and utilize the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own personal web portal and order form. Normally, you have the option to select between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will do business on behalf of your very own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Offering Web Page Hosting Solutions Too

A good addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to customers who want to create their online portal and demand both a domain and a website hosting account. Certain corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free billing software to charge your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they provide a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to individuals from all over the world.
