Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding platform that supplies new opportunities to earn cash on the Web. One of these possibilities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end customers, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is a flourishing business niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most famous domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains involve 2-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names 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 prerequisites that each given TLD may contain, among them the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain resource records.

Make Profit From Reselling Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to gain revenue from offering domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can build your own electronic business. Generally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more individuals in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides 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 imposes for the domain registration.

Sell Top-Level Domains Under Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will obtain a web space hosting CP where you can set the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoice management software and web design skins for your web store, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the enormous demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market so seductive. You will either acquire 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 create your own web portal and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the opportunity to select between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Revenue From Providing Web Site Hosting Plans Too

A sensible supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to users who want to set up their online portal and demand both a domain and a web space hosting account. Particular companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoice software to charge your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to clients from all over the globe.
