Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing network that provides new options to earn money on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end users, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of presently active domains, so this is a flowering marketing niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain consists of 2 components - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most popular domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs include two-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each concrete top-level domain name may involve, such as the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain name records.

Make Revenue From Offering Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make profit from selling domains to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can commence your very own electronic business. Regularly, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can reach more persons in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Trade Top-Level Domains Under Your Personal Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a web site hosting CP where you can select the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide invoicing software and templates for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the vast demand for domain names render the domain reseller business niche so desirable. You will either obtain a pre-developed web site and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own portal and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the opportunity to select between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your own brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Money From Reselling Web Hosting Packages Too

An appropriate addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. In this way, you can give a package deal to persons who would like to establish their site and demand both a domain and a hosting account. Particular corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoice management software to bill your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared website hosting packages to customers, and since they offer lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to people from all over the world.
