Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing platform that furnishes new opportunities to make cash online. One of these ways is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end customers, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is a flourishing marketing niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most conventional domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs consist of 2-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given Top-Level Domain may contain, like the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain name records.

Earn Profit From Reselling Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make cash from offering domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can initiate your very own personal web business. Typically, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can reach more people in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Resell TLDs On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will acquire a hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer billing management software and design themes for your online shop, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the large demand for domain names make the domain reseller business so attractive. You will either have a ready-to-use web site and avail of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own personal web page and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the opportunity to select between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your very own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Money From Trading Web Hosting Plans As Well

A logical addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to people who wish to launch their site and require both a domain name and a web hosting account. Given corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoice software to bill your clients. You can then offer domains and shared web hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer many different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
