Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging system that delivers new options to earn cash on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is a blossoming business niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name is made of two entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most widespread domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs consist of two-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 ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each particular Top-Level Domain may contain, like the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to clients and administer all DNS resource records.

Earn Cash From Trading Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to earn cash from offering domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can launch your very own Internet business. Typically, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more people in local communities or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a webspace hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide invoicing transaction software and design themes for your web store, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the large demand for domains render the domain name reseller industry so desirable. You will either get a pre-made web site and utilize the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own personal website and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the option to choose between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how skillful you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your very own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Selling Webspace Hosting Solutions Too

An excellent addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to people who wish to set up their web portal and require both a domain name and a hosting account. Given firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge billing management software to bill your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting packages to clients, and since they offer lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to users from all over the globe.
