Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing system that delivers new ways to make money on the Web. One of these options is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end customers, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is an enlarging trading niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain involves two pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most widespread domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names consist of two-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and sets the requirements that each particular top-level domain name may entail, among them the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain resource records.

Earn Money From Selling Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn money from offering domain names to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can begin your very own personal web business. Commonly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more people in local communities or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit from 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 Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will have a site hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide invoice transaction software and skins for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole process together with the enlarging demand for domains make the domain name reseller business so tempting. You will either receive a pre-built website and use the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own website and order form. Generally, you have the option to pick between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Cash From Offering Web Space Hosting Packages As Well

An excellent supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to persons who would like to manage their web page and demand both a domain name and a site hosting plan. Particular companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and cost-free billing software to bill your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to people from all around the world.
