Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing network that supplies new possibilities to make cash on the Internet. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end customers, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of presently active domains, so this is a blooming business niche that you can become a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain is composed of 2 parts - a Top-Level Domain (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 name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most famous domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs consist of 2-character abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of ccTLDs 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, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and sets the requirements that each specific TLD may contain, like the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to clients and manage all domain name records.

Gain Revenue From Reselling Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn money from offering domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can build your very own personal Internet business. Usually, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more individuals in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. 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 user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Sell Domain Names Under Your Own Personal Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will have a hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide billing software and website themes for your web shop, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the great demand for domains make the domain name reseller industry so attractive. You will either obtain a ready-made site and use the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own web portal and order form. Commonly, you have the option to decide between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Cash From Selling Hosting Services Too

A good addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to individuals who desire to create their online portal and need both a domain and a webspace hosting plan. A number of companies furnish 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 reseller account and free invoice software to charge your clients. You can then sell domains and shared hosting packages to clients, and since they provide many diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to people from all over the world.
