Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding system that furnishes new ways to earn cash on the Internet. One of these options is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end clients, gaining 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 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is a developing business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name is composed of two entities - 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 SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most famous domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains comprise 2-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each given top-level domain name may include, such as the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and manage all domain resource records.

Earn Profit From Selling Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn profit from selling domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kick off your very own personal e-business. Usually, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more clients in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will earn a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Sell Top-Level Domains Under Your Own Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a webspace hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoicing software and website skins for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the increasing demand for domain names render the domain reseller market so seductive. You will either have a pre-made site and utilize the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal online portal and order form. Usually, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 options, so it all depends on how trained you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will work under your own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Trading Website Hosting Accounts As Well

An appropriate supplement 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 wish to have their web site and require both a domain name and a hosting plan. A few firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoice transaction software to bill your customers. You can then sell domain names and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they provide a lot of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to users from all around the globe.
