Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing community that supplies new ways to gain cash on the Web. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end users, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is a blooming business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name is composed of two pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most conventional domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names contain two-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains 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 is responsible for the registrations and determines the requirements that each given top-level domain name may entail, like the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain name records.

Earn Money From Trading Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to gain cash from selling domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can initiate your very own personal electronic 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 client. The reason is that resellers can contact more users in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Sell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a webspace hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide billing transaction software and web site templates for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire process combined with the flourishing demand for domain names make the domain reseller business so desirable. You will either obtain a ready-for-use website and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own web site and order form. Typically, you have the opportunity to decide between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your own brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Profit From Reselling Website Hosting Accounts Too

A perfect addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to clients who desire to build their website and need both a domain and a web hosting account. Certain corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoicing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they provide many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to clients from all over the globe.
