Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging community that provides new options to gain cash online. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end users, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is an expanding business niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain consists of 2 parts - 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 SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most conventional domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains comprise two-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names 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 organization that manages the registrations and determines the preconditions that each concrete top-level domain name may contain, such as the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain name resource records.

Make Revenue From Offering Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make revenue from offering domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can commence your very own personal electronic business. Commonly, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can reach more users in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will earn a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will get a web page hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer billing software and website layouts for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire process together with the high demand for domain names render the domain name reseller business niche so attractive. You will either get a ready-to-use web site and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own personal web portal and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the option to choose between the two options, so it all revolves around how skillful you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your own personal brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Cash From Trading Web Page Hosting Packages As Well

A relevant addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to individuals who desire to launch their web site and need both a domain and a web site hosting package. Some firms supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost billing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then sell TLDs and shared web hosting plans to customers, and since they offer plenty of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to people from all over the world.
