Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding community that offers new ways to earn cash on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end users, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is an increasing business niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name includes 2 pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the best known domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs comprise 2-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and determines the requirements that each particular top-level domain name may have, including the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain records.

Gain Money From Reselling Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to earn profit from selling domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kickstart your very own online business. As a rule, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more persons in areas or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies 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 client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Resell Domains On Behalf Of Your Own Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer billing software and website themes for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire process combined with the enlarging demand for domains render the domain reseller business niche so desirable. You will either acquire a pre-built website and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own web site and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to choose between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Revenue From Offering Web Site Hosting Services Too

An adequate addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to customers who want to create their web portal and demand both a domain name and a hosting account. Given firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoice management software to charge your clients. You can then sell TLDs and shared hosting packages to clients, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to customers from all around the globe.
