Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging platform that provides new opportunities to earn money on the Web. One of these possibilities is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is an enlarging trading niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name contains 2 components - 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 name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the best known domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains include 2-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given top-level domain name may involve, including the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain name resource records.

Make Revenue From Selling Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to gain revenue from offering domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kick off your very own personal Internet business. Commonly, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can reach more customers in regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Sell Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will receive a web hosting CP where you can set the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide invoice transaction software and design skins for your online store, and the automation of the entire process together with the rising demand for domains render the domain name reseller industry so desirable. You will either acquire a ready-to-use website and use the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own portal and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the option to pick between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how trained you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Money From Trading Web Page Hosting Solutions As Well

An excellent addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to users who wish to have their site and require both a domain and a site hosting account. A number of corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoicing software to charge your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting packages to clients, and since they provide a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
