Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing platform that furnishes new options to earn cash on the Internet. One of these possibilities is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end users, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is an increasing trading niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name consists of two components - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most common domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names involve two-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that manages the registrations and determines the preconditions that each concrete top-level domain name may contain, among them the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and manage all DNS resource records.

Make Money From Reselling Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain profit from selling domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can launch your very own Internet business. Usually, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can contact more users in regional communities or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will earn a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Sell Top-Level Domains Under Your Very Own Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoice management software and website templates for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the huge demand for domain names render the domain name reseller business niche so seductive. You will either receive a pre-developed site and avail of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own web portal and order form. Generally, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 options, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Revenue From Supplying Web Hosting Packages Too

A perfect addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to people who want to manage their site and demand both a domain name and a site hosting account. Certain corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free billing software to charge your customers. You can then sell domains and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they provide lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the globe.
