Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding platform that offers new ways to gain cash online. One of these opportunities is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is a flowering business niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name is made of 2 constituents - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most widely used domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names are made of two-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code TLDs 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 sets the prerequisites that each specific top-level domain name may entail, including the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and administer all DNS resource records.

Gain Money From Trading Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain money from selling domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can set up your very own personal Internet business. Commonly, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can reach more clients in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Sell Domains Under Your Personal Brand

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will get a web space hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the different TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide invoice transaction software and design layouts for your online shop, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the significant demand for domain names render the domain reseller business so tempting. You will either acquire a pre-developed site and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own website and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your very own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Providing Web Site Hosting Plans As Well

A suitable supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to individuals who want to create their website and require both a domain and a hosting account. Particular corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoice software to bill your clients. You can then offer domain names and shared web hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to people from all over the world.
