Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding platform that generates new opportunities to earn money on the Web. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is a flowering marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name consists of two constituents - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most famous domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs are made of two-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and determines the requirements that each specific TLD may involve, like the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain name resource records.

Make Money From Trading Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make money from offering domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kickstart your own Internet business. Commonly, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more persons in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Trade Domains Under Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will have a hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer billing management software and web site themes for your web store, and the automation of the whole process combined with the large demand for domains make the domain reseller business so alluring. You will either acquire a ready-for-use website and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own personal web portal and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the option to choose between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Profit From Reselling Web Hosting Packages Too

A sensible supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to people who desire to establish their web portal and require both a domain name and a website hosting package. Some companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost billing management software to bill your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they provide a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to users from all over the globe.
