Domain Reselling and the Benefits - By: carolyn

The number of online businesses is growing daily so why not capitalise on the accelerating need for web presence and why not do it via one of the most popular and growing forms; through the idea of domain reselling.

Domain resellers provide registration of available domain names for clients and often engage in the process of acquiring expired domains from a drop register for later resale. It has also often been said that domain resellers often give better customer service than regular registrars. One other advantage that domain resellers have is that they are able to provide discounted prices for the domains that they are selling as part of the reseller programme (after buying them wholesale from the registrar) they then pass along the savings to the customers. Domain resellers have become very successful by offering these lower prices, and the competition among resellers has driven the price of domain names down.

In recent times the idea of domain reselling has expended and many domain resellers are now stand alone businesses; however in order to start a domain reseller business you need to find an ICANN Accredited Registrar who offers a reseller programme.

As the Internet has expanded to include many website, which include personal and business; the field of domain name reselling has grown. This idea of domain reselling was then made extremely popular by aspects such as web design companies. Many of these web design companies then partner with an ICANN accredited domain name registrar. These companies began to sell domain names directly to their own clients using their partner’s registrar system.

There are many advantages and benefits that domain resellers can offer you such as the following:

• Low trade prices. This is because you set your own profit margin
• Customer privacy. Most domain resellers will never contact your customers directly
• You will usually get a user friendly control panel
• With many domain resellers you will be given UK based telephone support
• You will gain a dedicated account manager, meaning you will never feel frustrated dealing with an anonymous account representative
• Dedicated reseller team, meaning you work with people who know the reseller business
• Proven track record. Most domain resellers should be able to prove this
• Your domain reseller will be based in the UK, meaning you are at the hub and connected to the rest of the world

A domain reseller is a person or company reselling domains for their own brand. Domains are normally sold in combination with hosting packages/plans, so most domain reseller sell hosting packages as well.

With many, if not most domain resellers you will be given a user interface through which you are able to register, renew and transfer domain names using the registrar’s own system. Often they are also provided with software to create their own branded interface to present to clients, which allows for domain name search and registration from the seller’s own site. Resellers generally receive highly discounted rates from the registrar because of the volume of transactions they process. This enables the reseller to set competitive prices for their registrations while still making a profit.
