Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing community that generates new options to make cash on the Internet. One of these options is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end customers, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is an expanding marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name is made of 2 constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most conventional domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains involve two-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each specific top-level domain name may impose, including the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to customers and administer all DNS records.

Make Revenue From Trading Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make cash from offering domain names to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can initiate your very own personal Internet business. Normally, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can contact more people in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will earn 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.

Sell Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will get a Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide billing transaction software and design templates for your virtual shop, and the automation of the whole process combined with the big demand for domain names render the domain reseller market niche so desirable. You will either get a ready-to-use web site and utilize the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal online portal and order form. Traditionally, you have the option to decide between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how expert you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Trading Site Hosting Plans Too

A suitable supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to clients who would like to have their web page and require both a domain name and a web page hosting package. Given companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoice management software to charge your customers. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to users from all over the world.
