Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing community that offers new opportunities to gain cash on the Internet. One of these possibilities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end clients, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is a blooming trading niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain consists of 2 components - a top-level domain name (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 name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most common domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs contain two-character abbreviations that denote 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 TLD, has a Registry - an organization that manages the registrations and sets the requirements that each particular top-level domain name may involve, among them the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to customers and manage all domain name resource records.

Earn Revenue From Trading Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to make revenue from offering domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can begin your very own personal web business. Generally, 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 customer. The reason is that resellers can contact more persons in areas or states where the Registrar may not be known 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 client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Trade Domains Under Your Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will receive a website hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide billing management software and web page templates for your web shop, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the increasing demand for domains render the domain name reseller business so alluring. You will either have a pre-made website and avail of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own personal web portal and order form. Normally, you have the opportunity to choose between the two options, so it all depends on how proficient you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your very own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Cash From Trading Web Space Hosting Packages Too

An excellent addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thus, you can give a package deal to persons who would like to make their site and need both a domain name and a web page hosting package. Particular companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoice transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell domains and shared hosting plans to clients, and since they offer lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the globe.
