Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing community that offers new ways to make cash on the Web. One of these opportunities is to become a domain reseller and offer domains to end clients, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is a developing business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most popular domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names are composed of two-character abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each particular top-level domain name may have, like the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to customers and handle all DNS resource records.

Gain Profit From Offering Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make money from selling domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kickstart your own Internet business. Typically, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more people in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Resell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will receive a webspace hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoice management software and website layouts for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the growing demand for domains make the domain name reseller industry so desirable. You will either have a ready-made website and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own personal web page and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 options, so it all depends on how proficient you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Supplying Web Page Hosting Packages Too

A nice supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to people who would like to launch their online portal and require both a domain name and a webspace hosting account. A few companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free invoice software to bill your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
