Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing community that delivers new possibilities to earn cash on the Internet. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is a flourishing business niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain is made of two components - a Top-Level Domain (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 second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the best known domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs include 2-letter abbreviations that represent 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 or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific TLD may include, among them the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain name records.

Make Revenue From Offering Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make profit from selling domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can set up your own personal electronic business. As a rule, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can contact more customers in local communities or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will make a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Trade Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will have a website hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoicing transaction software and web site themes for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole process combined with the proliferating demand for domains make the domain reseller industry so attractive. You will either obtain a ready-made website and use the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own personal portal and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the option to choose between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your very own personal brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Cash From Promoting Web Page Hosting Accounts As Well

An excellent addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to individuals who desire to run their website and demand both a domain name and a web hosting plan. Particular companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost billing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared hosting plans to customers, and since they offer lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to users from all around the globe.
