Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing community that provides new possibilities to earn money online. One of them is to be a domain reseller and offer domain names to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is a blossoming trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain contains two components - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".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 top-level domain names include the most popular domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names are made of 2-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific top-level domain name may contain, like the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to clients and administer all domain records.

Gain Money From Reselling Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to earn profit from selling domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can build your very own personal electronic business. Commonly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can reach more clients in regions or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Resell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will have a web space hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide billing software and website templates for your web store, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the enormous demand for domains make the domain reseller industry so attractive. You will either receive a pre-made website and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own web portal and order form. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how expert you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will do business on behalf of your very own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Revenue From Promoting Site Hosting Packages As Well

A sensible supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to customers who would like to develop their web page and require both a domain and a web hosting plan. Some firms have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free billing management software to charge your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared hosting plans to clients, and since they provide plenty of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to users from all around the world.
