Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing system that supplies new possibilities to gain money on the Web. One of these options is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end clients, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of presently active domain names, so this is an enlarging business niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain consists of 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 SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most widespread domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs include 2-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Examples 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 name, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and sets the preconditions that each particular TLD may have, like the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain records.

Gain Revenue From Selling Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain money from selling domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can establish your very own personal online business. Commonly, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can contact more individuals in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be known 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 charges for the domain registration.

Trade Domain Names Under Your Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a site hosting CP where you can select the prices for the separate TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide billing transaction software and web themes for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the proliferating demand for domain names make the domain reseller market niche so desirable. You will either acquire a ready-made website and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal web page and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the option to select between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how trained you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your very own personal brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Cash From Supplying Web Hosting Accounts Too

A reasonable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to customers who would like to develop their web page and demand both a domain and a hosting plan. Certain companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free invoicing software to bill your clients. You can then offer domains and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all over the globe.
