Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing network that provides new possibilities to make cash on the Web. One of these ways is to become 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 domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is a growing business niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain is composed of two pieces - a Top-Level Domain (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 name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs are composed of 2-character abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and sets the requirements that each particular Top-Level Domain may entail, including the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and administer all domain resource records.

Earn Cash From Reselling Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make cash from selling domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can start your very own online business. As a rule, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can reach more clients in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will earn a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will get a web page hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoice software and web page layouts for your online shop, and the automation of the whole process together with the high demand for domains make the domain name reseller business niche so tempting. You will either get a pre-developed 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 create your very own personal online portal and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the option to choose between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how trained you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will do business on behalf of your personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Revenue From Promoting Web Page Hosting Plans As Well

A relevant supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thus, you can give a package deal to users who desire to create their web page and demand both a domain name and a website hosting plan. Given firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and charge-free billing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared web hosting packages to clients, and since they offer lots of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all over the world.
