Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing system that delivers new ways to make money online. One of these opportunities is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end customers, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently active domain names, so this is an expanding marketing niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain contains 2 pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most widespread domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains are composed of 2-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and sets the preconditions that each concrete Top-Level Domain may have, such as the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate 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 Offering Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain cash from offering domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can initiate your own online business. Commonly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more clients in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Trade TLDs On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will get a webspace hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer billing transaction software and web page themes for your web shop, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the high demand for domain names make the domain reseller business niche so alluring. You will either acquire a ready-made site and make use of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own web site and order form. Commonly, you have the option to pick between the two options, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your personal brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Revenue From Supplying Web Hosting Services As Well

A sensible addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to individuals who want to make their web portal and require both a domain name and a hosting plan. Some firms supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free billing transaction software to bill your clients. You can then offer domains and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to people from all around the world.
