Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding platform that offers new ways to gain money on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain reseller and offer domains to end customers, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is a blooming trading niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name contains two components - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most famous domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs are composed of 2-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each given Top-Level Domain may include, including the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to customers and administer all DNS records.

Make Revenue From Offering Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make cash from offering domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can launch your very own Internet business. Regularly, a domain will cost less 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 clients in local communities or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will receive a webspace hosting CP where you can set the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide billing management software and web design themes for your online shop, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the considerable demand for domain names make the domain reseller business so attractive. You will either get a pre-built web site and make use of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own personal online portal and order form. Usually, you have the option to select between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how skilled you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your very own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Money From Selling Web Site Hosting Solutions Too

A sensible addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to clients who would like to develop their website and require both a domain and a webspace hosting account. Certain companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoice transaction software to charge your customers. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared hosting packages to clients, and since they offer plenty of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to customers from all over the world.
