Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging network that supplies new ways to gain cash online. One of these ways is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end users, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is a blossoming business niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names are composed of two-character abbreviations that denote 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 TLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each specific top-level domain name may contain, such as the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain name records.

Gain Cash From Reselling Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain profit from offering domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can establish your very own online business. Normally, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more individuals in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Resell Domains 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 settle the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide invoice transaction software and layouts for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire process combined with the immense demand for domains render the domain name reseller market so desirable. You will either have a pre-made website and use the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own website and order form. Commonly, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how proficient you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Cash From Selling Web Hosting Solutions Too

An adequate addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to persons who want to have their site and require both a domain name and a website hosting package. Given corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and cost-free billing software to charge your customers. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they offer plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
