Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing system that provides new possibilities to gain money on the Web. One of these options is to be a domain 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 every day, and there are millions of presently active domain names, so this is a flowering business niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most common domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names consist of two-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and sets the requirements that each given TLD may involve, among them the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to clients and administer all domain name records.

Earn Money From Offering Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make cash from selling domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your very own Internet business. Typically, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more persons in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Sell TLDs On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will obtain a website hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer billing transaction software and templates for your web shop, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the immense demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business niche so alluring. You will either acquire a ready-to-use website and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal web site and order form. Generally, you have the option to pick between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how expert you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your very own brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Cash From Selling Web Hosting Services As Well

A proper addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to individuals who desire to run their site and require both a domain and a webspace hosting account. Some firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoicing software to bill your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to clients from all around the world.
