Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing platform that delivers new opportunities to gain cash online. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end users, 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 every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is a thriving marketing niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name is made of two entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the best known domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs contain 2-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific Top-Level Domain may entail, including the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to customers and manage all DNS resource records.

Make Profit From Offering Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make money from selling domains to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can commence your very own personal web business. Generally, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can contact more persons in regional communities or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit 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.

Trade TLDs Under Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a web hosting CP where you can set the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide billing transaction software and templates for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole process together with the strong demand for domains make the domain reseller business niche so tempting. You will either get a ready-to-use site and avail of the Registrar system 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 page and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the option to select between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Profit From Supplying Hosting Services As Well

A reasonable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to people who would like to set up their website and need both a domain name and a site hosting package. Certain firms supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost billing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then offer domains and shared website hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all over the world.
