Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing system that delivers new ways to earn money on the Web. One of these ways is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end customers, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of presently active domain names, so this is a flowering marketing niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name comprises 2 constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the best known domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs consist of 2-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given TLD may involve, among them the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain resource records.

Gain Cash From Trading Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to make revenue from offering domains to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can kickstart your very own personal web business. Regularly, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can contact more people in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoice software and design themes for your virtual shop, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the rising demand for domains make the domain name reseller market so tempting. You will either obtain a pre-developed web site and use the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own personal site and order form. Typically, you have the opportunity to choose between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your very own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Money From Selling Webspace Hosting Plans Too

A nice supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to customers who want to set up their online portal and require both a domain and a site hosting package. Some corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoicing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the globe.
