Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing platform that furnishes new ways to make money on the Web. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and offer domain names to end users, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domains, so this is a flourishing business niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name includes 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 name and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the best known domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names are made of two-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and determines the requirements that each concrete Top-Level Domain may entail, including the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and handle all DNS records.

Earn Cash From Reselling Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to gain cash from offering domains to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can initiate your very own personal web business. As a rule, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can reach more clients in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Sell Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will have a webspace hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide invoice management software and website skins for your web store, and the automation of the entire process combined with the proliferating demand for domains make the domain reseller market niche so attractive. You will either receive a turn-key website and utilize the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own web page and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the opportunity to select between the two options, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your very own trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Trading Web Page Hosting Accounts Too

An excellent addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to people who desire to make their website and need both a domain name and a website hosting account. Some companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge billing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then sell domain names and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to individuals from all over the globe.
