Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding platform that supplies new options to gain cash on the Web. One of these possibilities is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end customers, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is a growing business niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain includes two entities - 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 and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most widespread domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names involve two-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and determines the requirements that each given TLD may impose, such as the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain records.

Earn Cash From Offering Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make cash from selling domains to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can set up your own personal Internet business. Regularly, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via 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 regional communities or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will get a Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoice transaction software and web design templates for your online shop, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the immense demand for domains make the domain reseller business so alluring. You will either get a ready-for-use website and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own web page and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how proficient you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your personal brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Offering Hosting Services Too

A suitable addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to individuals who would like to build their web site and demand both a domain and a webspace hosting plan. Certain companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free invoice software to charge your customers. You can then sell TLDs and shared hosting plans to clients, and since they provide many diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to people from all over the world.
