Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging platform that furnishes new ways to make cash online. One of them is to be a domain reseller and offer domain names to end clients, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently functioning 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 made of two pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most famous domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs are made of two-character abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and sets the requirements that each given TLD may contain, such as the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain records.

Gain Cash From Offering Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make profit from selling domain names to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can build your own web business. As a rule, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more clients in regional communities or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will cash in 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.

Sell Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will have a webspace hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer invoice management software and website templates for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole process together with the expanding demand for domains render the domain reseller industry so alluring. You will either get a ready-for-use site and make use of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own site and order form. Generally, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your very own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Profit From Selling Web Space Hosting Solutions As Well

An excellent addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to users who wish to establish their online portal and require both a domain name and a web hosting plan. Some corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free billing management software to bill your customers. You can then sell domains and shared web hosting plans to customers, and since they provide lots of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to users from all over the world.
