Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing platform that delivers new options to earn cash online. One of these options is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end customers, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is an increasing business niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain contains two pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the best known domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names comprise 2-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Examples 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 TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and determines the requirements that each specific TLD may contain, like the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all DNS records.

Make Profit From Offering Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain revenue from selling domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can set up your very own personal online business. Regularly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more persons in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Sell TLDs On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will have a web hosting Control Panel where you can set the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer invoice transaction software and web design themes for your online store, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the proliferating demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business so seductive. You will either obtain a pre-made web site and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own web page and order form. Typically, you have the option to choose between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how proficient you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your very own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Profit From Trading Web Hosting Services As Well

A reasonable addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to clients who wish to create their web page and need both a domain and a hosting package. Certain firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoice management software to bill your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they provide lots of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to users from all over the globe.
