Bulk Domain Registration Overview
There is a whole lot of money that can be made on the internet. Whether you sell items on an auction site or place ads that get you paid per click, you can earn a good living if you know what you are doing. The more websites you have, the more money you will make. Bulk domain registration means that you are going to register more than one website domain at a single time. This is great for people who want to make money with as many sites as possible for their business.

A good example would be if you wish to place ads that pay you for each visitor who clicks on them. Though you may be happy with the ad revenue from just one or two websites, others might want many more websites. It should go without saying that the more websites you have, the more ads you can place. This means more potential money in your pocket if you set up your websites the right way and attract plenty of visitors. This is where bulk domain registration comes in — instead of registering 100 or more websites one at a time, you can do them all at once. Most websites that offer this type of service allow you register up to 500 domain names at one time, provided they are not already taken, or course.

Reasons to Have So Many Domains
The reason why you may want to register and own up to 500 names (or more!) is because it is good for business. The more websites you own on a particular subject, the more visitors you will get who are looking for information on the subject you are discussing on your website. For example, let's say that you want to sell personalized stationary online. You have wonderful templates and great printers and love to make and sell stationary for people who like theirs with a little flair. So you buy one or two domains that inform customers about personalized stationary choices and offer to sell it to them.

If you had 10, 20 or even 100 domains on stationary, chances are that when a potential customer does a search engine query for personalized stationary, they are going to land on at least one of your pages. However, if you only had two websites, there is a good chance they may end up on someone else's website instead, meaning you are missing out on that sale. Bulk domain registrations allow you to have several sites registered at once to try and avoid this catastrophe. Lots of people have one primary site then buy a bunch of related sites so they can 'redirect' the customer to the main one. This means as soon as they click on a link to one website, it funnels them to the main one so you still get the traffic and hopefully the sale from that one person.

Bulk Domain Registration Tool
Now that you know what they are and why you should use them, it is time to learn about bulk domain registration tools. If you have decided on 50 names for websites that you wish to own and operate, you can register each and every one of them. One way to do this would be to do each one individually. This could take quite a bit of time, as each potential domain name would have to be put in, and then searched for individually, etc. If the name is taken, alternate names would have to be chosen or come up with individually as well. This can turn into a gigantic waste of time.

Instead of inputting each name individually, it is far more time efficient to use a bulk domain registration tool. This means that you can either cut and paste or type in the names of dozens or even hundreds of potential domain names at once time. This saves you a lot of time and effort, as each name will now be searched for at the same time as all others. You could literally save yourself hours of work this way.

Bulk domain registration is fast and easy. There is usually a box that you would simply put all the names in, and then hit 'enter' or 'search,' whichever your bulk domain registration tool has. The tool does all of the work for you in a snap, with displayed results of which names are available for purchase and which are not.

Domain Extensions
Using the bulk domain registration tool is actually the easiest part of the whole task. Arguably the hardest part of registering hundreds of names in a bulk domain registration is coming up with the actual names that you want to register. After a few dozen names, some people can't come up with more of them, so they simply stop trying. But there are ways to get around your domain name block.

The first way to get more suggestions for domain names is to go to a domain registrar and input a few names that you already have. Regardless of whether those names are taken or not, there will likely be an area where alternate names are suggested. If any of these names appeal to you, then use one or all of them when you register bulk domain names. This can help you come up with dozens more names than you previously had.

The other way is to add different extensions to the names you already have. Going back to the example of websites dealing with personal stationary, there are easy ways to come up with alternate names for it. For example, the name of the primary site will be PersonalizedStationary.com. An easy way to get several more names would be to register PersonalizedStationary.net, PersonalizedStationary.org and more. Other popular extensions include .info, .biz, .TV, .us and more, depending on what country you are in.

Length of Registration
Whether you register a single name of use the bulk domain registration tool, you will be asked how long you want to register that name or names for. When a domain registrar asks you how long you want to own that domain, it is called length of registration. Many people think that buying a domain name means that it is yours for life, but this is simply not the case. It is only yours for life if you renew it and re-purchase the name every time it is up for renewal. If you intend in keeping a name long-term or forever, then you should go with the longest registration possible.

The default length of registration for most bulk domain registrations is one year. This means that each and every name you register will be yours for one year from the buy date. Of course, this is only the default length of registration. You can obviously extend it and buy it for much longer than just a year, if you have long-term plans. Most sites will allow 5 and even 10 year registrations. The sites will send you a courtesy email informing you when your registration is about to expire, so you can either let it expire or renew. If you let it expire, the domain name will go up for sale to the next person who wants it.

Automatic Renewal
Along the same subject of length of registration is automatic renewal notices. If you opted for automatic renewal when you did your bulk domain registration, then you should receive a notice in your email that your domains are about to be renewed. This means that you should be expecting a charge on your card for all of the domains that you wanted to automatically renew. Some bulk domain registration tools allow you to use automatic renewal on all the website names you buy that day, while others will allow you to pick and choose which ones get automatically removed.

If you don't automatically renew the sites, or manually renew them by re-entering your credit card information, then you run the risk of the registration expiring. If this is the case, then the name or names are put back out in the public domain, meaning anyone who wants them can have them. If someone had them on their backordered list, then they are informed that the name is now available and can snap it up before you do.

Backordered Domains
There is a good chance that one or more of your bulk domain registration names will already be taken by someone else. If this is the case, you will likely be offered a service called backordering. This is just like backordering from any other product or service fulfiller. You pay up front for the item, and when it becomes available, it will become yours.
If you choose to backorder a domain, you can set it up one of two ways. One is for you to be informed when it becomes available, so that you then have the option of either buying the domain or letting it go to the public domain. This is a good option because in the time that may have passed between when you backordered it and when it becomes available, you may have changed your mind. The other way is for your credit card to automatically be billed when the domain becomes available, or to pay up front for it. This ensures that nobody else will have a chance to get that domain once the previous registration expires.

Other Bulk Domain Registration Services
Many websites that allow you to register multiple domains names may have many other services available to you. They are in the business of making money, and there is a good chance that they will offer you a premium version of what they are already doing. Upgrades such as automatic renewal and domain backordering have already been discussed. But your registration sties may also offer you business services that can help your new websites become more profitable and cost-effective once you have them up and running.

The site may offer you website building services. This means that they will help you set up the sites using their own templates and designers. This is a quick and easy way to set your websites up if you don't know how to do it on your own.

They may offer you traffic-building services that will bring guests who are interested in your products or services to your websites. They can even offer you things like emails services that are tailored to one or more of your bulk domain registration sites. For example, if you registered PersonalizedStationary.com, they can then give you email addresses that end in @PersonalizedStationary.com. This makes your business look much more professional and may entice people to buy from you instead of someone else.

Summary
If you want to make money on the internet, you can set up one website or set up many using a bulk domain registration tool. This means that you can register hundreds of names at one time and use them for different purposes. Some of them can simply be sites that redirect you to a main site, while others may all serve as primary sites for one or more types of products or services.

If the site you want is taken, you can skip it or backorder it. This means that when it becomes available, it will either be automatically purchased on your behalf or you will be given the option of purchasing it. Once you purchase a site, it is yours for at least one year, though longer lengths of registration such as five or even ten years are readily available from most sites as well. Other services may be available from the company you used for your bulk domain registrations. These can include website building, traffic building, personalized email services and much more.
