Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding community that provides new possibilities to make cash online. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end users, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is an increasing business niche that you can become a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name contains two parts - 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 SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most widely used domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names contain 2-character abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each specific TLD may entail, such as the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain resource records.

Make Profit From Reselling Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to gain revenue from selling domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your very own personal web business. Typically, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can contact more persons in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit 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.

Resell TLDs On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will get a web site hosting CP where you can select the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer billing management software and website themes for your web shop, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the immense demand for domains render the domain reseller market niche so desirable. You will either receive a pre-built site and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will offer 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 opportunity to pick between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your very own personal brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Revenue From Supplying Web Space Hosting Services Too

A relevant supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to persons who wish to establish their web site and demand both a domain name and a web hosting account. A few firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge billing management software to charge your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to clients from all around the globe.
