Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing community that generates new ways to gain cash on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end clients, making revenue 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 currently functioning domains, so this is an expanding trading niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain comprises 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 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 generic Top-Level Domains include the most popular domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains are composed of 2-character abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each given top-level domain name may involve, among them the duration of the registration period 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 domain records.

Earn Cash From Selling Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain money from offering domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can kickstart 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 straight from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more clients in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Sell TLDs Under Your Very Own Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will obtain a hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide invoice transaction software and themes for your online storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the huge demand for domain names render the domain name reseller industry so tempting. You will either acquire a pre-made web site and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own online portal and order form. Typically, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Offering Hosting Accounts Too

A logical supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to users who would like to run their web portal and need both a domain name and a webspace hosting plan. A number of corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoicing software to bill your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting packages to clients, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to people from all over the globe.
