Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging platform that supplies new ways to earn money online. One of these opportunities is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end customers, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is a blooming trading niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain comprises two parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most popular domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains consist of two-character abbreviations that denote each country. Examples 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 or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each particular top-level domain name may involve, like the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and administer all DNS resource records.

Earn Money From Offering Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to gain revenue from selling domains to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can kick off your very own personal Internet business. Commonly, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can reach more persons in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Own 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 domain names that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoicing software and site skins for your online store, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the proliferating demand for domain names render the domain reseller business so attractive. You will either acquire a ready-for-use site and use the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal web page and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your very own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Trading Site Hosting Accounts Too

A logical supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to people who wish to establish their online portal and demand both a domain name and a web page hosting account. Some corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoice software to bill your customers. You can then offer domain names and shared hosting packages to clients, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the globe.
