Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing system that supplies new opportunities to earn cash online. One of these options is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end customers, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of presently active domain names, so this is an expanding trading niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name comprises two entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names are composed of 2-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and sets the preconditions that each concrete Top-Level Domain may involve, like the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to customers and administer all DNS resource records.

Make Profit From Trading Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to gain profit from offering domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can begin your very own electronic business. Normally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more clients in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Brand

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a site hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the different TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide billing management software and site layouts for your online shop, and the automation of the whole process together with the big demand for domains render the domain name reseller market so seductive. You will either obtain a ready-for-use web site and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own web page and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the option to choose between the 2 options, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your very own personal brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Profit From Providing Web Hosting Services As Well

A proper addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to customers who would like to develop their web portal and require both a domain name and a web space hosting plan. A few firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoice management software to bill your customers. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared web hosting plans to customers, and since they offer lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to people from all over the world.
