Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing system that generates new ways to gain money on the Internet. One of these options is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end clients, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is a blossoming business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name is made of two pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most conventional domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains consist of two-character abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each particular top-level domain name may include, among them the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to customers and manage all DNS records.

Make Money From Selling Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make cash from selling domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can launch your very own personal web business. Typically, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can reach more individuals in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies 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 client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Offer TLDs Under Your Very Own Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will have a web hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer invoice management software and web themes for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the large demand for domains render the domain reseller market niche so seductive. You will either get a pre-developed web site and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal online portal and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to select between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your own personal brand and not under the Registrar's.

Make Money From Selling Hosting Services As Well

A sensible supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. In this way, you can give a package deal to clients who desire to develop their web portal and need both a domain name and a web site hosting account. Some companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoice transaction software to bill your customers. You can then sell TLDs and shared hosting packages to clients, and since they provide many different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all over the globe.
