Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding community that delivers new opportunities to earn money on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to become a domain reseller and offer domains to end customers, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently active domains, so this is a blooming marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain includes 2 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 name and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most famous domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names comprise 2-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and sets the preconditions that each specific top-level domain name may include, like the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to clients and administer all domain name resource records.

Gain Cash From Offering Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make money from offering domain names to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can commence your very own personal web business. As a rule, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can contact more persons in regions or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Offer Domain Names Under Your Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will have a web page hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoice software and themes for your web shop, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the enormous demand for domains make the domain name reseller market so attractive. You will either receive a pre-made website and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own website and order form. Normally, you have the option to pick between the 2 options, so it all depends on how proficient you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your very own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Cash From Reselling Web Hosting Services Too

A suitable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to users who would like to make their web site and demand both a domain and a web space hosting package. A number of firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoicing transaction software to bill your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they provide many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to clients from all over the globe.
