Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding system that provides new opportunities to gain money on the Internet. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is an increasing trading niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain includes 2 components - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains are composed of two-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and sets the requirements that each given Top-Level Domain may include, such as the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to customers and handle all domain records.

Gain Profit From Trading Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn profit from selling domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can set up your very own personal web business. Generally, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more individuals in areas 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 revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Resell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a website hosting Control Panel where you can set the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoicing transaction software and site skins for your virtual shop, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the huge demand for domains render the domain reseller market so attractive. You will either obtain a ready-made site and use the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal portal and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the option to pick between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Trading Site Hosting Accounts Too

A suitable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to individuals who desire to launch their web site and demand both a domain name and a website hosting plan. Particular firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free billing management software to bill your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide many different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to users from all over the world.
