Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing community that provides new possibilities to make cash on the Web. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end users, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is a developing business niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most widespread domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs contain 2-character abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and sets the requirements that each particular Top-Level Domain may involve, including the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and manage all DNS resource records.

Gain Profit From Trading Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn money from offering domains to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can kickstart your own personal online business. Generally, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can reach more customers in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Resell Domains On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will have a Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the separate TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer billing management software and web design layouts for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the considerable demand for domain names render the domain name reseller industry so alluring. You will either receive a turn-key site and use the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own portal and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to pick between the two options, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will work under your very own trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Money From Promoting Web Space Hosting Plans Too

A proper supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to individuals who desire to make their online portal and need both a domain name and a hosting plan. A few corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoicing software to charge your clients. You can then sell domains and shared hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide lots of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to users from all around the world.
