Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing community that offers new ways to make cash online. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, generating revenue 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 an enlarging trading niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain contains 2 pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most widely used domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names contain two-letter 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 top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each given Top-Level Domain may contain, such as the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain name resource records.

Gain Money From Reselling Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to earn revenue from offering domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can build your very own personal Internet business. Commonly, a domain will be cheaper 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 customers in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Offer Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will get a web space hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer billing software and design skins for your online shop, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the rising demand for domain names make the domain reseller business niche so tempting. You will either obtain a ready-for-use web site and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own web page and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the opportunity to decide between the two options, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Profit From Selling Web Page Hosting Plans As Well

A nice addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to individuals who wish to establish their web site and require both a domain and a web hosting package. Particular corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoice management software to bill your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer a lot of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all over the globe.
