Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging system that delivers new options to earn cash online. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of presently active domains, so this is an increasing trading niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain is composed of 2 parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs contain 2-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and sets the preconditions that each specific TLD may involve, among them the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain resource records.

Make Profit From Reselling Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to make profit from selling domains to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can launch your very own electronic business. Generally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can contact more persons in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a webspace hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoice management software and site themes for your online storefront, and the automation of the whole process together with the high demand for domains make the domain name reseller business niche so desirable. You will either get a pre-developed web site and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal web portal and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the option to select between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how expert you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will operate under your own personal brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Revenue From Reselling Site Hosting Packages Too

An excellent addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. In this way, you can give a package deal to clients who want to create their web page and demand both a domain name and a site hosting account. Certain corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and cost-free invoice management software to charge your customers. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to individuals from all around the globe.
