Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding community that generates new opportunities to gain money on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end clients, generating revenue 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 millions of currently functioning domains, so this is an enlarging business niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain is composed of two components - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the best known domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs comprise two-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each given TLD may contain, including the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and administer all domain resource records.

Make Revenue From Reselling Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to gain money from selling domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can start your very own personal electronic business. Regularly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more customers in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Offer Domains Under Your Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will get a CP where you can select the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide invoice management software and web design skins for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole process combined with the enlarging demand for domain names render the domain name reseller market niche so alluring. You will either obtain a ready-made website and use the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own site and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your very own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Revenue From Supplying Web Hosting Plans Too

An excellent supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to clients who want to develop their web site and demand both a domain and a site hosting account. Given corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and cost-free invoice transaction software to charge your clients. You can then offer domain names and shared web hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to persons from all over the globe.
