Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing community that delivers new opportunities to gain money online. One of these possibilities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end customers, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domains, so this is a developing business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name includes 2 components - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the SLD.

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 name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains contain 2-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and sets the requirements that each specific Top-Level Domain may have, like the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to customers and administer all domain name records.

Gain Money From Trading Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn revenue from offering domain names to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can begin your very own e-business. Commonly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can contact more clients in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Offer TLDs On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will get a web space hosting Control Panel where you can set the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide billing software and web page templates for your web store, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the significant demand for domains make the domain name reseller business niche so tempting. You will either receive a pre-developed site and use the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal online portal and order form. Generally, you have the opportunity to select between the two options, so it all revolves around how skilled you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your personal brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Profit From Offering Hosting Accounts Too

A good supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to customers who desire to manage their online portal and demand both a domain and a web hosting account. Given companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoice transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell TLDs and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they offer a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to users from all around the world.
