Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing system that provides new possibilities to make cash on the Web. One of these possibilities is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end users, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a developing business niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most famous domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names comprise 2-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given TLD may include, including the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and manage all domain resource records.

Make Revenue From Trading Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to gain money from selling domains to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can begin your own personal online business. Typically, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more persons in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Very Own Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a web space hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer billing software and web page templates for your web store, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the enlarging demand for domains make the domain name reseller market so desirable. You will either have a pre-developed website and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own personal web page and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the option to decide between the two options, so it all revolves around how skilled you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Providing Website Hosting Accounts Too

A suitable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. In this way, you can give a package deal to users who want to establish their site and require both a domain name and a web page hosting package. A number of corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost billing software to bill your clients. You can then sell domain names and shared web hosting packages to clients, and since they provide a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to people from all around the world.
