Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing system that generates new possibilities to make money on the Web. One of them is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end users, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is an expanding trading niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most famous domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names contain two-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of country-code TLDs 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 institution that is responsible for the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each concrete Top-Level Domain may have, among them the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to clients and administer all domain records.

Make Cash From Trading Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain money from selling domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can begin your own electronic business. Generally, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more customers in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. 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 user pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Trade Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a site hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide billing management software and website templates for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole process together with the growing demand for domains make the domain name reseller market so desirable. You will either get a ready-made site and avail of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own personal website and order form. Commonly, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Offering Website Hosting Solutions As Well

An excellent supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to individuals who want to run their online portal and need both a domain name and a web space hosting account. Some corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoice software to charge your customers. You can then offer domains and shared hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer a lot of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to customers from all over the globe.
