Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing platform that provides new options to earn money on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is a blooming marketing niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name contains two constituents - 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 Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the best known domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs are composed of two-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and sets the requirements that each particular TLD may impose, like the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to customers and administer all domain name resource records.

Gain Profit From Reselling Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make revenue from offering domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can build your own Internet business. Typically, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can contact more customers in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Offer Domains Under Your Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a webspace hosting CP where you can set the prices for the various top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide invoicing transaction software and themes for your online shop, and the automation of the entire process together with the considerable demand for domain names make the domain reseller industry so alluring. You will either acquire a pre-developed web site and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own portal and order form. Normally, you have the opportunity to decide between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Cash From Offering Site Hosting Services Too

A reasonable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to users who wish to have their web page and demand both a domain and a web hosting plan. Some firms supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell domains and shared hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to customers from all around the world.
