Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing community that supplies new ways to gain cash on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end customers, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently active domains, so this is an expanding trading niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain comprises 2 components - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most conventional domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs are made of 2-character abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given top-level domain name may contain, like the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to customers and handle all DNS resource records.

Make Cash From Trading Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make profit from offering domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can build your very own personal Internet business. Normally, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more clients in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies 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 customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Trade Domain Names Under Your Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will have a hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide billing transaction software and themes for your web store, and the automation of the entire process together with the flourishing demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business so seductive. You will either get a turn-key web site and use the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own personal web page and order form. Commonly, you have the opportunity to pick between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Reselling Web Page Hosting Packages As Well

A logical supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. In this way, you can give a package deal to persons who wish to establish their online portal and require both a domain and a hosting package. A few companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free billing management software to bill your customers. You can then sell TLDs and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they provide many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to persons from all around the world.
