Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding platform that generates new opportunities to earn money on the Web. One of these ways is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a developing business niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name consists of 2 constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most famous domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs consist of two-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and sets the requirements that each specific top-level domain name may include, including the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain name records.

Gain Profit From Selling Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain profit from offering domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can establish your own personal e-business. Regularly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more customers in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Offer Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will get a CP where you can choose the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide invoice management software and design templates for your online storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the increasing demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business so tempting. You will either acquire a ready-made website and use the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own web page and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the option to choose between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your very own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Profit From Selling Web Space Hosting Plans Too

An excellent addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to people who would like to run their site and need both a domain and a webspace hosting account. Given corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoicing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared hosting plans to customers, and since they provide many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to clients from all over the world.
