Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing network that supplies new opportunities to gain cash on the Internet. One of these options is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end clients, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is a flourishing marketing niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain includes 2 parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most widespread domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names consist of two-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given top-level domain name may entail, among them the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to customers and handle all DNS resource records.

Earn Profit From Offering Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make profit from offering domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can initiate your very own personal online business. Regularly, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more persons in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies 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 requires for the domain name registration.

Offer TLDs On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will receive a web hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide invoice management software and skins for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the proliferating demand for domain names render the domain name reseller industry so attractive. You will either acquire a pre-developed site 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 build your very own personal site and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to choose between the two options, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your very own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Selling Webspace Hosting Accounts Too

A proper supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to clients who want to make their web page and need both a domain and a hosting package. A number of firms supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoicing transaction software to bill your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared web hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide many different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to users from all over the globe.
