Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing platform that delivers new options to earn money on the Internet. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end users, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a blooming trading niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name contains 2 entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain 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 TLDs include the best known domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs consist of 2-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and sets the requirements that each particular top-level domain name may impose, including the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to clients and manage all domain resource records.

Earn Money From Reselling Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain cash from selling domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your very own Internet business. Normally, 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 user. The cause is that resellers can contact more individuals in local communities or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will get a web site hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoice management software and layouts for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire process together with the significant demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business niche so attractive. You will either obtain a ready-made site and use the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own online portal and order form. Typically, you have the opportunity to decide between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own personal brand and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Profit From Promoting Website Hosting Solutions Too

A suitable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to people who desire to have their site and require both a domain and a site hosting account. A few firms have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run 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 customers. You can then sell domain names and shared hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to people from all over the world.
