Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing community that supplies new opportunities to make money on the Web. One of these opportunities is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end customers, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a flowering business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name consists of two pieces - 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 second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most famous domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names comprise two-character abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each particular Top-Level Domain may contain, among them the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to customers and administer all DNS resource records.

Make Profit From Trading Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make cash from selling domains to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can commence your own online business. Normally, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more people in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be famous 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 imposes for the domain name registration.

Sell Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a web page hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide invoice management software and web design themes for your virtual shop, and the automation of the whole process together with the rising demand for domain names make the domain reseller market niche so attractive. You will either acquire a ready-to-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 build your own personal site and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the option to choose between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how trained you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Revenue From Selling Hosting Plans Too

A suitable supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to customers who would like to build their online portal and require both a domain name and a webspace hosting plan. Certain corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and charge-free billing software to charge your clients. You can then offer domain names and shared website hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the globe.
