Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging platform that offers new options to gain cash online. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end users, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of presently active domains, so this is a blooming business niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most widespread domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains include 2-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given Top-Level Domain may have, including the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and handle all domain records.

Gain Revenue From Reselling Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn money from selling domain names to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can launch your own personal e-business. As a rule, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can contact more individuals in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Sell Domain Names Under Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will get a hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoice management software and website layouts for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the enormous demand for domain names make the domain reseller industry so seductive. You will either acquire a turn-key web site and avail of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal online portal and order form. Typically, you have the option to choose between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your very own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Reselling Webspace Hosting Services Too

An excellent supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to people who wish to manage their online portal and demand both a domain name and a web space hosting plan. A few firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost billing software to bill your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting plans to clients, and since they offer a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to users from all around the globe.
