Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing network that provides new options to gain cash online. One of these ways is to become a domain reseller and sell domains to end clients, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is a flourishing trading niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain involves two constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most widespread domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs involve two-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and sets the requirements that each specific Top-Level Domain may impose, including the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to clients and manage all domain name records.

Make Profit From Selling Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make money from selling domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can start your own personal Internet business. Normally, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can contact more individuals in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains Under Your Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will get a hosting CP where you can set the prices for the various top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide billing management software and site themes for your virtual shop, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the big demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market niche so seductive. You will either get a pre-made web site and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own website and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to choose between the two options, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Profit From Providing Webspace Hosting Services As Well

A suitable addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to people who would like to make their web portal and demand both a domain and a hosting plan. Certain corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free billing software to charge your customers. You can then sell domains and shared web hosting plans to customers, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the globe.
