Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing system that offers new opportunities to gain cash on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of currently active domain names, so this is a blossoming business niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name includes 2 pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs comprise 2-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and determines the requirements that each particular top-level domain name may involve, like the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to clients and administer all domain records.

Make Cash From Trading Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain profit from selling domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can establish your very own electronic business. Generally, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more clients in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Sell Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will have a Control Panel where you can select the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide billing management software and web site templates for your web store, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the big demand for domains render the domain name reseller business niche so desirable. You will either get a ready-made website and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own web page and order form. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to choose between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your very own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Trading Website Hosting Plans As Well

A good supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to clients who desire to run their web portal and need both a domain name and a site hosting account. Certain firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoicing software to bill your clients. You can then sell TLDs and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they provide lots of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
