Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding system that supplies new ways to make cash online. One of them is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end users, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is a thriving marketing niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain involves 2 parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick 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 gTLDs include the most famous domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names are made of 2-character abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given top-level domain name may contain, among them the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain name resource records.

Make Revenue From Trading Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn revenue from offering domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kickstart your very own personal Internet business. Commonly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more customers in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies 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 obtain a site hosting CP where you can select the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoicing software and site skins for your virtual shop, and the automation of the entire process together with the great demand for domains make the domain reseller industry so desirable. You will either get a pre-made site and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal web page and order form. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to choose between the 2 options, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Supplying Web Hosting Services Too

A reasonable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to clients who wish to have their website and need both a domain name and a hosting package. Given companies supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free invoice transaction software to bill your customers. You can then sell domains and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they offer lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to users from all over the globe.
