Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing community that delivers new opportunities to earn cash on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end customers, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is a thriving trading niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name consists of two parts - 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 and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most common domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs contain two-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and sets the requirements that each given TLD may have, among them the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain name resource records.

Gain Revenue From Selling Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to earn revenue from offering domain names to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can start your very own personal web business. Typically, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more persons in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domains Under Your Own Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a site hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide invoicing transaction software and web design templates for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire process together with the large demand for domain names render the domain reseller business niche so tempting. You will either acquire a ready-for-use web site and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own site and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to choose between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Trading Hosting Services As Well

An excellent addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to users who wish to build their web site and need both a domain name and a site hosting plan. Particular corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and cost-free billing software to charge your clients. You can then sell domain names and shared web hosting packages to clients, and since they provide many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to users from all around the world.
