Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing system that furnishes new possibilities to make cash on the Web. One of these options is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end users, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is a growing trading niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name contains two parts - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the best known domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names are composed of 2-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples 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 country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given Top-Level Domain may have, including the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain records.

Gain Profit From Selling Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn money from selling domain names to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can initiate your very own e-business. Generally, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can contact more customers in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Offer TLDs Under Your Very Own Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will obtain a hosting CP where you can select the prices for the different TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoicing software and design layouts for your online storefront, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the considerable demand for domains render the domain reseller business so desirable. You will either obtain a pre-developed web site and make use of the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own web site and order form. Normally, you have the option to choose between the two options, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will do business on behalf of your personal brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Revenue From Providing Webspace Hosting Packages As Well

A proper supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to individuals who wish to set up their web site and demand both a domain and a web page hosting package. A number of firms have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoice management software to charge your clients. You can then sell TLDs and shared web hosting packages to clients, and since they offer plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to users from all around the globe.
