Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing system that furnishes new options to earn money online. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, making 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 domains, so this is a flowering business niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most widespread domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs consist of 2-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific Top-Level Domain may contain, like the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and handle all DNS records.

Earn Money From Offering Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make cash from selling domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can begin your own electronic business. Typically, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more persons in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Resell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will have a site hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer invoice transaction software and templates for your virtual shop, and the automation of the whole process together with the towering demand for domain names make the domain name reseller industry so attractive. You will either obtain a pre-built site and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own portal and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Profit From Offering Web Space Hosting Packages As Well

A sensible supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. In this way, you can give a package deal to customers who would like to make their online portal and require both a domain and a web page hosting package. Some firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free invoice transaction software to bill your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the globe.
