Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing system that offers new opportunities to earn money on the Web. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end customers, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is a flowering business niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most famous domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs are composed of two-letter 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, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and determines the requirements that each concrete Top-Level Domain may include, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and manage all DNS records.

Make Cash From Reselling Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make revenue from offering domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can kick off your very own personal web business. Generally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more clients in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Sell Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoice transaction software and website layouts for your online shop, and the automation of the entire process combined with the considerable demand for domain names render the domain name reseller business so attractive. You will either acquire a pre-developed site and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own personal web site and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the option to decide between the two options, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your personal brand and not under the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Supplying Web Space Hosting Plans As Well

A suitable supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thus, you can give a package deal to people who would like to build their web page and need both a domain name and a web page hosting account. Given companies supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoicing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then offer domains and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the globe.
