Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing community that delivers new opportunities to make cash on the Web. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end customers, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is a blooming marketing niche that you can be involved 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 Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most popular domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains contain 2-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and sets the requirements that each particular TLD may involve, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to clients and administer all domain name resource records.

Make Revenue From Offering Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn cash from selling domains to end users. If you register with such a program, you can set up your very own web business. Regularly, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more individuals in regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Sell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will get a website hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoice transaction software and website layouts for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the immense demand for domains make the domain name reseller industry so alluring. You will either get a pre-developed web site and utilize the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own website and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the option to choose between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how expert you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your own personal brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Profit From Supplying Hosting Plans Too

A proper supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to customers who wish to build their online portal and demand both a domain name and a web site hosting account. Certain corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing software to bill your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they offer lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to persons from all around the globe.
