Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing community that provides new possibilities to gain cash online. One of these ways is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end customers, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is a thriving business niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name involves 2 parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most conventional domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs include 2-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each particular Top-Level Domain may have, among them the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain records.

Make Cash From Reselling Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn money from selling domain names to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can kickstart your own Internet business. Normally, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more individuals in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Sell Domains On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will have a hosting CP where you can set the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoicing transaction software and web site themes for your online store, and the automation of the entire process combined with the increasing demand for domains render the domain name reseller business so tempting. You will either get a pre-developed website and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal site and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the option to decide between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how advanced you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Revenue From Supplying Web Site Hosting Services As Well

A proper addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. In this way, you can give a package deal to clients who want to run their website and demand both a domain name and a hosting plan. Some corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoicing transaction software to bill your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting packages to customers, and since they provide lots of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the world.
