Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing system that offers new ways to earn cash on the Web. One of these options is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end users, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is a blooming business niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain includes 2 parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD 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 TLDs comprise the most widespread domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains consist of 2-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific Top-Level Domain may contain, such as the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain records.

Earn Revenue From Reselling Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to gain cash from selling domain names to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can initiate your very own personal Internet business. Typically, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can contact more clients in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. 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 customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Offer TLDs Under Your Very Own Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a site hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoice management software and themes for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire process together with the great demand for domains render the domain name reseller market so tempting. You will either get a pre-built site and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own website and order form. Normally, you have the opportunity to decide between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own personal brand and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Offering Web Site Hosting Solutions As Well

A perfect addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to users who want to manage their web page and demand both a domain and a webspace hosting package. A few firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and cost-free invoicing software to charge your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting packages to clients, and since they provide a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to persons from all around the world.
