Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing network that furnishes new possibilities to gain money online. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end clients, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is a blooming marketing niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain consists of 2 constituents - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most famous domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs contain two-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 organization that manages the registrations and sets the preconditions that each particular top-level domain name may impose, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain resource records.

Earn Cash From Trading Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to earn revenue from offering domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kick off your own personal e-business. Usually, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more clients in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Offer Domains Under Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will get a website hosting Control Panel where you can set the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide invoicing software and site layouts for your virtual shop, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the large demand for domain names render the domain name reseller market niche so alluring. You will either obtain a pre-made web site and use the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own personal web page and order form. Usually, you have the opportunity to select between the two options, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your very own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Offering Site Hosting Plans Too

A good addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to people who wish to create their web site and demand both a domain name and a web site hosting account. A number of corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free billing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to customers from all around the globe.
