Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding platform that furnishes new options to gain cash on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end customers, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is a flowering trading niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name comprises two entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the best known domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs consist of two-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific top-level domain name may impose, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship 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 records.

Earn Cash From Selling Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn cash from offering domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can establish your own web business. Generally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can reach more customers in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will have a web site hosting CP where you can set the prices for the different TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide invoice management software and design skins for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the considerable demand for domains render the domain reseller market niche so attractive. You will either obtain a pre-built 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 set up your very own online portal and order form. Typically, you have the opportunity to choose between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how skillful you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Revenue From Selling Web Hosting Packages Too

An excellent addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to people who would like to have their web site and require both a domain name and a web hosting account. Certain firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoice software to bill your clients. You can then sell TLDs and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they offer plenty of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to clients from all around the globe.
