Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing platform that delivers new possibilities to gain cash online. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end customers, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domains, so this is a developing business niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain is made of 2 entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most popular domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names comprise 2-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each particular TLD may entail, among them the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to customers and manage all DNS resource records.

Make Cash From Reselling Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make cash from selling domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can start your very own Internet business. Generally, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more persons in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Sell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the different TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer invoice management software and web site layouts for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the significant demand for domains render the domain reseller industry so desirable. You will either have a ready-to-use web site and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own web page and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the option to pick between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how trained you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your very own brand and not under the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Reselling Web Page Hosting Services Too

An appropriate addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. In this way, you can give a package deal to persons who would like to run their web site and need both a domain and a web page hosting plan. Certain 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-of-charge billing management software to charge your customers. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they provide a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to people from all around the globe.
