Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing platform that offers new ways to gain money on the Web. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end clients, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of currently active domain names, so this is an expanding trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most famous domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs comprise 2-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and determines the requirements that each particular top-level domain name may impose, such as the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to clients and handle all DNS resource records.

Earn Cash From Selling Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn revenue from offering domain names to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can begin your own personal e-business. Typically, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more persons in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides 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.

Sell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will get a CP where you can settle the prices for the separate TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide billing management software and templates for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the whole process combined with the huge demand for domains make the domain name reseller market so desirable. You will either have a turn-key web site and utilize the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own web page and order form. Generally, you have the option to choose between the 2 options, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Revenue From Trading Web Site Hosting Packages Too

An appropriate addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thus, you can give a package deal to customers who desire to establish their online portal and need both a domain and a site hosting plan. Given firms have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoice management software to charge your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they offer plenty of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to individuals from all over the world.
