Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing network that provides new possibilities to gain money on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end users, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is an increasing business niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name contains two components - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most widely used domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names comprise two-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and determines the requirements that each concrete top-level domain name may impose, such as the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to customers and handle all domain name resource records.

Gain Profit From Offering Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make cash from selling domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can start your own web business. Commonly, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can contact more people in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies 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 levies for the domain name registration.

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

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will get a CP where you can settle the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer billing software and design templates for your web store, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the growing demand for domain names make the domain reseller market so tempting. You will either obtain a ready-for-use website and use the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal web site and order form. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to choose between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Cash From Reselling Web Space Hosting Packages As Well

A good addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to persons who wish to run their site and demand both a domain name and a web space hosting plan. Particular firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free billing management software to bill your clients. You can then sell TLDs and shared hosting plans to customers, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to clients from all over the world.
