Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing network that furnishes new options to earn cash on the Internet. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end users, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is a blooming trading niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name contains two entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most common domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains involve 2-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and determines the requirements that each particular Top-Level Domain may entail, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain records.

Make Money From Trading Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make revenue from offering domains to end users. If you register with such a program, you can build your own personal web business. As a rule, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more users in regional communities or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Trade Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a web hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide invoice software and web design skins for your web store, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the swelling demand for domain names render the domain name reseller market niche so desirable. You will either have a ready-made web site and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own online portal and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the option to choose between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how skilled you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Money From Selling Site Hosting Packages Too

A sensible addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thus, you can give a package deal to persons who want to launch their website and demand both a domain and a web site hosting account. Particular corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free billing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then sell domain names and shared web hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all over the world.
