Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding community that generates new possibilities to earn cash online. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is a developing trading niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name involves 2 components - 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 and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most famous domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names are composed of two-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given Top-Level Domain may include, such as the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and administer all DNS resource records.

Gain Money From Trading Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn cash from offering domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can initiate your very own e-business. Typically, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can reach more individuals in regions or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Resell TLDs On Behalf Of Your Own Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will get a Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer billing software and skins for your online shop, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the increasing demand for domain names render the domain reseller market niche so tempting. You will either receive a pre-built website and avail of the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal web page and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your very own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Cash From Supplying Webspace Hosting Services As Well

An appropriate addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to individuals who would like to have their website and demand both a domain name and a hosting account. A number of corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoice management software to bill your customers. You can then sell TLDs and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they provide a lot of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the world.
