Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing platform that provides new opportunities to gain money online. One of these opportunities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently active domains, so this is a flowering business niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most common domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs are composed of 2-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and determines the requirements that each concrete top-level domain name may involve, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to customers and handle all domain name resource records.

Make Revenue From Selling Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to gain revenue from selling domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can set up your own online business. Commonly, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can contact more customers in regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Resell TLDs Under Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide invoicing transaction software and web design skins for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the enlarging demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business niche so alluring. You will either get a pre-made website and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own web site and order form. Typically, 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 under your very own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Revenue From Promoting Site Hosting Plans As Well

An adequate supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to people who wish to manage their site and need both a domain name and a hosting account. Particular firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge billing management software to bill your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to customers from all around the world.
