Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing community that supplies new options to make cash on the Internet. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end customers, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is a growing trading niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain includes 2 entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most popular domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs comprise two-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete TLD may entail, including the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain name records.

Earn Money From Reselling Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain profit from offering domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your very own e-business. As a rule, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can contact more people in local communities or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. 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.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a site hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer invoicing software and design themes for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the strong demand for domains make the domain name reseller business niche so tempting. You will either acquire a turn-key website and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own personal portal and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the option to choose between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how skillful you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your very own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Revenue From Supplying Hosting Accounts As Well

An adequate addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to individuals who desire to develop their web page and demand both a domain and a hosting plan. Certain corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free billing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to customers from all over the world.
