Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-enlarging community that provides new ways to earn money on the Web. One of these opportunities is to become a domain reseller and sell domains to end customers, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is a flourishing business niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most famous domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs include two-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and determines the requirements that each particular Top-Level Domain may include, among them the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain records.

Gain Cash From Selling Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain cash from offering domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can begin your very own online business. As a rule, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can contact more persons in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will cash in on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Sell Domains Under Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will get a CP where you can fix the prices for the various top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer invoice software and web site themes for your online storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the immense demand for domains make the domain reseller market so attractive. You will either acquire a ready-to-use web site and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own web portal and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to decide between the two options, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Providing Web Space Hosting Accounts As Well

A relevant supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to individuals who want to set up their web page and need both a domain name and a web space hosting plan. A number of firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and cost-free invoice software to charge your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide many different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to clients from all over the globe.
