Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging network that furnishes new possibilities to gain money online. One of them is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end clients, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is a blossoming marketing niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name comprises two pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take 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 gTLDs comprise the most popular domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs are composed of 2-letter abbreviations that denote 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 ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and sets the requirements that each specific TLD may contain, among them the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and administer all domain records.

Earn Revenue From Trading Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn cash from offering domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kick off your very own personal online business. Normally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more customers in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Offer TLDs On Behalf Of Your Own Brand

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a website hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the different TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide billing transaction software and design themes for your web shop, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the significant demand for domains render the domain reseller business so seductive. You will either have a ready-to-use website and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own site and order form. Generally, you have the opportunity to select between the two options, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Profit From Reselling Webspace Hosting Accounts As Well

A sensible supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to people who want to run their site and require both a domain and a web hosting package. Given corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free invoicing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they offer a lot of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to customers from all over the globe.
