Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing platform that provides new options to earn money on the Internet. One of them is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is a blossoming trading niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name is composed of 2 constituents - 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 name and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most common domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs contain 2-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD 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 have, among them the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain resource records.

Gain Cash From Selling Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make profit from offering domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can begin your very own online business. Usually, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can reach more individuals in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. 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 client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Offer Top-Level Domains Under Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a site hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide invoice transaction software and layouts for your online shop, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the great demand for domain names make the domain reseller market niche so desirable. You will either obtain a turn-key website and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own site and order form. Normally, you have the option to choose between the 2 options, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your own trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Profit From Trading Web Page Hosting Services As Well

A sensible supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to customers who would like to make their web portal and need both a domain name and a webspace hosting account. A few firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing transaction software to bill your clients. You can then sell TLDs and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they offer lots of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to people from all around the world.
