Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing platform that delivers new ways to gain cash online. One of them is to become 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. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is a growing marketing niche that you can become a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name consists of 2 pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most widespread domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs involve two-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains 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 tackles the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each particular TLD may have, including the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to customers and handle all DNS resource records.

Earn Revenue From Offering Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make revenue from offering domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can kick off your own electronic business. Commonly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more users in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Offer Domain Names Under Your Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will have a webspace hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer billing software and web site templates for your online store, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the immense demand for domain names make the domain reseller business so seductive. You will either receive a turn-key website and utilize the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal website and order form. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to pick between the two options, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Providing Webspace Hosting Solutions As Well

A logical supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. In this way, you can give a package deal to users who desire to make their web page and demand both a domain name and a hosting package. Particular corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoice transaction software to bill your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
