Domain name 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 reseller and offer domains to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of currently active domain names, so this is a blooming marketing niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain contains two constituents - 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 second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most widely used domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains contain two-character abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and determines the requirements that each particular Top-Level Domain may impose, such as the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to clients and administer all DNS resource records.

Make Profit From Selling Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to earn revenue from offering domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can begin your own web business. As a rule, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more clients in areas or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means 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 requires for the domain registration.

Resell TLDs Under Your Very Own Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will get a website hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoice software and web site layouts for your online store, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the proliferating demand for domain names render the domain reseller industry so alluring. You will either have a turn-key site and use the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own web portal and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the option to decide between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your own personal brand and not under the Registrar's.

Make Cash From Selling Web Site Hosting Accounts Too

An appropriate addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to individuals who desire to launch their web portal and require both a domain name and a web hosting package. A few corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoicing transaction software to bill your clients. You can then sell domains and shared web hosting plans to customers, and since they provide plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to customers from all over the globe.
