Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing platform that delivers new ways to make cash online. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is a developing business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain is composed of two components - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the best known domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names 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 gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete top-level domain name may include, like the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to clients and administer all domain name resource records.

Make Profit From Offering Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to gain revenue from selling domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your own personal e-business. Usually, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can contact more users in regional communities or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Sell Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a website hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide invoicing transaction software and website templates for your web shop, and the automation of the whole process combined with the high demand for domains make the domain reseller business niche so desirable. You will either get a turn-key website and use the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal web page and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your very own trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Revenue From Reselling Web Space Hosting Accounts As Well

An adequate addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to persons who desire to have their web portal and demand both a domain and a web hosting account. A number of corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoice management software to bill your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
