Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing community that supplies new possibilities to make cash online. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and offer domain names to end customers, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of currently active domain names, so this is a flowering business niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain involves two components - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most widespread domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains consist of 2-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and sets the requirements that each specific top-level domain name may have, like the duration 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 name resource records.

Make Revenue From Selling Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to make cash from offering domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can kickstart your very own personal electronic business. As a rule, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can reach more people in areas or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. 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 customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will receive a web site hosting CP where you can set the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoicing transaction software and design layouts for your online store, and the automation of the whole process together with the rising demand for domains make the domain name reseller market so attractive. You will either receive a turn-key site and make use of 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 very own web site and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to pick between the two options, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own personal brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Money From Offering Web Hosting Packages As Well

A proper supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to persons who want to run their web portal and require both a domain and a site hosting account. A few corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoice software to bill your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared hosting plans to customers, 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 around the world.
