Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing community that furnishes new options to gain cash on the Web. One of these possibilities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end users, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is a flowering business niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain involves 2 pieces - a top-level domain name (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 second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most famous domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs include two-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and sets the preconditions that each specific TLD may impose, including the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to customers and administer all DNS records.

Make Money From Offering Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make money from selling domain names to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can set up your own personal online business. Typically, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more customers in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a website hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoice software and design themes for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the increasing demand for domain names make the domain reseller industry so desirable. You will either receive 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 make your own personal web page and order form. Commonly, you have the opportunity to pick between the two options, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will do business on behalf of your personal brand and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Revenue From Selling Webspace Hosting Accounts Too

A suitable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to persons who wish to develop their site and require both a domain and a site hosting account. Particular firms have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost billing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then offer domain names and shared web hosting packages to clients, and since they offer lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to clients from all around the world.
