Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing network that generates new options to gain cash on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end clients, generating 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 currently functioning domains, so this is an enlarging business niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name involves 2 parts - a top-level domain name (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 name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most common domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names include 2-letter abbreviations that represent 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 TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each given top-level domain name may include, among them the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to clients and manage all DNS resource records.

Gain Money From Selling Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn revenue from offering domains to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can set up your very own web business. Typically, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more users in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Sell Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a web hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the separate TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoicing software and web templates for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the whole process together with the immense demand for domain names make the domain reseller business so seductive. You will either get a turn-key web site and utilize the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal site and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your personal brand and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Cash From Supplying Web Space Hosting Packages As Well

A reasonable addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to individuals who would like to create their website and demand both a domain name and a web page hosting account. Particular corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoice software to charge your clients. You can then offer domains and shared web hosting packages to clients, and since they offer many diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to clients from all over the world.
