Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing system that delivers new ways to make money online. One of these opportunities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end clients, earning revenue 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 currently active domain names, so this is a flourishing business niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain includes two constituents - a Top-Level Domain (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.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs are made of 2-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given TLD may contain, among them the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain resource records.

Earn Cash From Reselling Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make money from offering domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can start your own web business. Normally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more clients in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will have a web hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the different TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer invoice transaction software and site skins for your online store, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the enlarging demand for domain names render the domain name reseller business so desirable. You will either obtain a ready-to-use web site and use the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own online portal and order form. Typically, you have the option to decide between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Money From Offering Web Site Hosting Solutions As Well

An appropriate addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to customers who wish to make their website and require both a domain name and a webspace hosting package. Particular firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free billing software to charge your clients. You can then sell domain names and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they offer lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the globe.
