Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging platform that supplies new options to gain cash on the Internet. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end clients, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of presently active domains, so this is a developing trading niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most widely used domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs involve 2-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each specific Top-Level Domain may impose, among them the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain name resource records.

Earn Revenue From Reselling Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to make revenue from selling domains to end users. If you register with such a program, you can kickstart your very own Internet business. Normally, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more people in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will cash in on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Trade TLDs On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will get a hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide invoicing software and website skins for your online store, and the automation of the whole process combined with the increasing demand for domain names render the domain reseller market niche so attractive. You will either receive a pre-built website and use the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own portal and order form. Generally, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Cash From Supplying Web Site Hosting Plans Too

A reasonable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to customers who want to create their web page and need both a domain and a web space hosting package. Given corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and cost-free invoice software to bill your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared hosting plans to clients, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to people from all around the globe.
