Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing network that delivers new opportunities to gain cash on the Internet. One of them is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end customers, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently active domain names, so this is a blooming business niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain includes 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 Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most popular domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains include two-character abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each given Top-Level Domain may entail, including the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to customers and handle all domain name records.

Earn Profit From Offering Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain cash from selling domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can launch your own personal Internet business. Commonly, 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 local regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Offer Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a site hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide billing management software and web page layouts for your web shop, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the great demand for domain names render the domain reseller business niche so alluring. You will either acquire a pre-built site and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal web page and order form. Normally, you have the option to choose between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how skilled you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Profit From Reselling Site Hosting Packages Too

A nice supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to customers who wish to develop their online portal and demand both a domain name and a web site hosting plan. Certain companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoicing software to charge your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to persons from all around the world.
