Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing platform that offers new options to gain cash on the Web. One of these options is to become a domain name 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 and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is a growing marketing niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name consists of two parts - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most popular domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names contain 2-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and sets the requirements that each particular top-level domain name may entail, like the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain name records.

Earn Revenue From Selling Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn revenue from selling domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can launch your own personal e-business. Regularly, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can contact more customers in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Trade Top-Level Domains Under Your Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will acquire a Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoice transaction software and web skins for your online store, and the automation of the whole process combined with the significant demand for domains make the domain reseller business niche so tempting. You will either acquire a turn-key website and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own personal site and order form. Typically, you have the option to choose between the two options, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will work under your very own personal brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Money From Supplying Web Space Hosting Services As Well

A perfect addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. In this way, you can give a package deal to users who desire to create their web site and need both a domain and a webspace hosting account. A number of firms supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free invoice transaction software to charge your customers. You can then offer domain names and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they offer a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to users from all over the world.
