Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding platform that generates new opportunities to earn cash online. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end users, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is a blossoming business niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain contains 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.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most common domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs involve 2-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a gTLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and sets the preconditions that each specific top-level domain name may entail, among them the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to clients and administer all domain name records.

Gain Cash From Reselling Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn money from offering domain names to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can establish your own personal Internet business. Typically, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more clients in regions or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Sell TLDs On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will obtain a website hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide invoice software and web design skins for your online storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the towering demand for domain names make the domain reseller industry so tempting. You will either acquire a ready-for-use website and avail of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own website and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to pick between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your very own brand and not under the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Supplying Hosting Solutions As Well

A good supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to persons who wish to run their web page and demand both a domain and a site hosting package. Certain corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoicing software to bill your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all over the world.
