Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing community that generates new opportunities to make money on the Internet. One of these options is to be a domain 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. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is a thriving business niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name comprises 2 pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick 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 TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most conventional domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs involve two-letter abbreviations that signify 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 or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and determines the preconditions that each concrete TLD may entail, like the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain resource records.

Earn Cash From Reselling Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to gain revenue from selling domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can start your own e-business. As a rule, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more people in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Sell Domains Under Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will get a website hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the various top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide invoicing software and templates for your virtual shop, and the automation of the whole process combined with the vast demand for domains render the domain name reseller business so tempting. You will either obtain a pre-developed web site and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own website and order form. Commonly, you have the option to select between the 2 options, so it all depends on how expert you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Cash From Supplying Web Hosting Accounts As Well

A logical supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to persons who desire to build their web site and demand both a domain and a hosting plan. Certain corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoice software to bill your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared hosting packages to clients, and since they provide plenty of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
