Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing community that provides new ways to gain cash online. One of these options is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end users, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is a blossoming marketing niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name comprises 2 entities - a Top-Level Domain (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 TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most famous domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names comprise 2-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete TLD may contain, among them the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain resource records.

Earn Money From Selling Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make revenue from offering domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can set up your very own online business. Usually, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more individuals in areas or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will earn a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Sell TLDs Under Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will receive a site hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoicing transaction software and web skins for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the great demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business niche so tempting. You will either acquire a ready-for-use website and use the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own personal portal and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the option to pick between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Reselling Web Hosting Solutions As Well

An excellent addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to customers who wish to make their web page and require both a domain and a hosting account. Particular firms supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoice software to charge your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to customers from all over the world.
