Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding system that generates new ways to make cash online. One of these options is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price 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 domain names, so this is a growing trading niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain includes 2 components - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most common domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names consist of two-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and sets the requirements that each particular Top-Level Domain may contain, among them the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and handle all DNS resource records.

Gain Cash From Selling Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to earn revenue from selling domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can start your own web business. As a rule, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more customers in regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Resell Domain Names Under Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will get a web space hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide billing software and web page templates for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the high demand for domain names render the domain reseller industry so attractive. You will either get a turn-key site and use the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal online portal and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the opportunity to choose between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Profit From Offering Hosting Plans As Well

An appropriate supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thus, you can give a package deal to individuals who desire to establish their site and need both a domain name and a website hosting plan. Some companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoice transaction software to bill your customers. You can then offer domains and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they offer a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to individuals from all over the globe.
