Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing platform that delivers new opportunities to earn cash on the Internet. One of these ways is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end clients, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domains, so this is an expanding business niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most famous domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs comprise 2-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and determines the requirements that each given TLD may contain, including the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and administer all domain resource records.

Gain Profit From Reselling Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make revenue from offering domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can initiate your very own personal electronic business. Usually, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can reach more people in regions or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Sell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a web space hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide invoicing software and templates for your online store, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the great demand for domains make the domain reseller business so seductive. You will either get a ready-for-use web site and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, 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. Typically, you have the opportunity to decide between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Profit From Selling Web Hosting Solutions As Well

A relevant addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thus, you can give a package deal to persons who would like to run their site and demand both a domain and a web space hosting account. Particular companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and cost-free billing management software to bill your clients. You can then offer domains and shared hosting plans to customers, and since they provide plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to people from all around the globe.
