Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing network that generates new opportunities to gain cash on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and offer domain names to end customers, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is an expanding trading niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain consists of two constituents - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most widespread domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs include two-character abbreviations that denote each country. Examples 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, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given top-level domain name may entail, among them the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to clients and administer all domain name records.

Gain Profit From Trading Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make revenue from selling domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kickstart your own online business. Typically, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more persons in regions or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit 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.

Sell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will have a webspace hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer invoice management software and website skins for your online storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the rising demand for domains make the domain name reseller market so attractive. You will either acquire a ready-to-use site and use the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own web page and order form. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to pick between the two options, so it all depends on how accomplished you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Revenue From Reselling Website Hosting Plans As Well

An excellent addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to persons who wish to build their online portal and demand both a domain name and a web space hosting account. Some corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoice management software to bill your customers. You can then sell domain names and shared website hosting packages to customers, and since they offer plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
