Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing system that furnishes new ways to make cash on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end customers, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is a blooming marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain is made of two constituents - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most popular domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs involve 2-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and determines the requirements that each given top-level domain name may involve, like the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to customers and handle all domain name resource records.

Gain Money From Selling Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to gain profit from offering domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can begin your very own electronic business. As a rule, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more persons in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Resell TLDs Under Your Own Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will get a Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the separate TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer billing management software and website skins for your web store, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the vast demand for domains make the domain name reseller industry so seductive. You will either obtain a ready-made site and avail of the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own personal online portal and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the option to select between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how advanced you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will operate under your very own personal brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Revenue From Selling Hosting Solutions Too

An adequate addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to persons who would like to run their site and demand both a domain and a web hosting plan. Particular corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free invoice transaction software to charge your customers. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared website hosting packages to clients, and since they provide many different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to people from all around the world.
