Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing community that provides new possibilities to earn cash on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end users, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domains, so this is a developing marketing niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name contains two constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most widely used domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names contain 2-character abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each specific Top-Level Domain may have, like the length of the registration period or the citizenship 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 handle all domain resource records.

Gain Profit From Trading Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn profit from selling domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can start your own web business. Regularly, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more clients in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Sell TLDs On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will have a hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoicing transaction software and web design themes for your online store, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the increasing demand for domains make the domain reseller industry so seductive. You will either receive a ready-for-use website and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal web page and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your personal brand and not under the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Selling Webspace Hosting Accounts As Well

A perfect addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to persons who would like to develop their website and require both a domain and a webspace hosting plan. A number of corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free billing transaction software to bill your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared hosting plans to customers, and since they provide lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to persons from all around the globe.
