Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing system that supplies new possibilities to earn money on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end customers, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is a thriving marketing niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain contains two entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most popular domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs are composed of 2-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and sets the preconditions that each concrete top-level domain name may contain, including the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to clients and manage all DNS records.

Make Cash From Selling Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make cash from selling domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can begin your own personal online business. Normally, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can contact more persons in regions or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will 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 TLDs On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will have a hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide invoicing transaction software and web themes for your web shop, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the strong demand for domain names make the domain reseller market so seductive. You will either obtain a pre-developed website and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal web site and order form. Commonly, you have the opportunity to select between the two options, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your own brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Profit From Supplying Site Hosting Solutions As Well

A sensible supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to people who wish to create their site and demand both a domain name and a webspace hosting plan. A few firms supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and charge-free billing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then sell domain names and shared hosting plans to customers, and since they provide plenty of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to individuals from all over the world.
