Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing network that provides new options to gain money online. One of these opportunities is to become a domain reseller and offer domains to end users, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is a developing business niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name includes two components - 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 name and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most common domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names consist of 2-letter abbreviations that represent 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 generic Top-Level Domain or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific TLD may entail, like the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to clients and administer all domain name resource records.

Gain Money From Offering Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn revenue from offering domains to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can kick off your very own web business. Commonly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can reach more people in local regions or states 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 customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Sell Domain Names Under Your Very Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will have a hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide billing management software and site themes for your virtual shop, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the huge demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market so desirable. You will either receive a pre-made site and make use of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own web page and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to decide between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how trained you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Profit From Providing Web Page Hosting Plans Too

A nice supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to persons who would like to establish their site and require both a domain and a site hosting plan. A number of corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing software to bill your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they offer many different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to individuals from all over the world.
