Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing platform that offers new opportunities to make money online. One of these ways is to become a domain reseller and offer domains to end clients, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domains, so this is a growing marketing niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most popular domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs comprise two-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and determines the requirements that each concrete Top-Level Domain may entail, including the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain name records.

Make Cash From Selling Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make revenue from offering domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can kickstart your very own personal Internet business. Normally, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more persons in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Sell TLDs On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web space hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoice software and web design templates for your online shop, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the swelling demand for domain names make the domain name reseller industry so seductive. You will either obtain a ready-made site and use the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal portal and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will do business on behalf of your personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Providing Web Site Hosting Accounts Too

A relevant addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thus, you can give a package deal to individuals who desire to have their web portal and need both a domain name and a website hosting plan. Given firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoicing software to charge your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared web hosting plans to customers, and since they provide a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
