Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing network that furnishes new possibilities to gain money online. One of these possibilities is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end users, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is a blossoming business niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name includes 2 pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most famous domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains consist of 2-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each given TLD may include, including the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and administer all domain name records.

Earn Cash From Selling Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to gain cash from selling domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can start your very own Internet business. Commonly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more clients in local communities or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means 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 customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Resell TLDs On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will have a web site hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer billing software and web skins for your online store, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the rising demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market so seductive. You will either obtain a pre-built website and make use of the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own personal web site and order form. Traditionally, you have the option to pick between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how expert you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Revenue From Selling Website Hosting Plans Too

A suitable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to individuals who wish to develop their web page and demand both a domain name and a webspace hosting account. Particular firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge billing software to charge your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they provide lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to clients from all over the globe.
