Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding system that offers new ways to make cash online. One of them is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end users, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is a thriving business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain is made of two constituents - 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.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most common domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains involve two-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete Top-Level Domain may impose, such as the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain name resource records.

Earn Profit From Trading Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make profit from selling domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can begin your very own Internet business. Commonly, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more customers in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will get a web space hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer invoicing transaction software and website templates for your web store, and the automation of the whole process combined with the significant demand for domains render the domain reseller business niche so seductive. You will either get a pre-made web site and use the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal web page and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your own trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Money From Trading Site Hosting Plans Too

A suitable addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to customers who would like to manage their website and need both a domain and a site hosting package. Certain firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoicing software to charge your customers. You can then offer domain names and shared website hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide many different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all over the world.
