Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing community that delivers new opportunities to gain money on the Internet. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and offer domain names to end customers, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is an expanding trading niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain consists of 2 parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most widespread domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs involve 2-character abbreviations that signify each country. Instances 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 manages the registrations and determines the requirements that each specific top-level domain name may impose, such as the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to customers and handle all domain name resource records.

Earn Profit From Offering Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to gain profit from selling domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can set up your own personal e-business. Normally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can contact more individuals in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will cash in on 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 Domain Names Under Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a CP where you can settle the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide invoicing software and web page themes for your online store, and the automation of the entire process together with the immense demand for domains make the domain reseller industry so desirable. You will either obtain a pre-built website and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal online portal and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the option to decide 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 under your own personal brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Providing Web Hosting Plans Too

A relevant supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to clients who would like to manage their web page and demand both a domain name and a web site hosting account. A number of corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge billing software to bill your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they provide many diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all over the world.
