Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing platform that delivers new options to earn money on the Internet. One of these options is to become a domain reseller and sell domains to end customers, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domains, so this is a blooming trading niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most popular domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains are made of 2-character abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names 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 name, has a Registry - an organization that manages the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each concrete Top-Level Domain may have, among them the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to customers and administer all DNS resource records.

Make Cash From Reselling Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make money from offering domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your very own personal Internet business. Usually, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can contact more clients in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Trade Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will have a website hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the separate TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer billing software and website themes for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the strong demand for domain names render the domain name reseller market niche so alluring. You will either obtain a ready-made site and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal web site and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the opportunity to decide between the two options, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will operate under your personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Supplying Site Hosting Services Too

A relevant addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to people who would like to create their site and require both a domain and a web space hosting plan. Certain companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoice transaction software to charge your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they provide plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to clients from all around the world.
