Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding community that generates new opportunities to make money online. One of these opportunities is to be a domain reseller and offer domain names to end users, generating 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 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is an increasing marketing niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain consists of two components - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains comprise two-character abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given TLD may entail, including the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain records.

Earn Revenue From Trading Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain revenue from offering domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can kickstart your own web business. Generally, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more people in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Offer TLDs Under Your Own Brand Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a web site hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide billing management software and site templates for your web shop, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the rising demand for domain names render the domain reseller industry so alluring. You will either receive a ready-for-use site and use the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal online portal and order form. Normally, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how trained you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your very own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Offering Website Hosting Accounts Too

A reasonable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to people who want to manage their web site and demand both a domain and a web space hosting plan. Given corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoicing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then offer domain names and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they offer many diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to clients from all around the world.
