Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging platform that offers new options to gain cash on the Web. One of them is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end customers, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is a thriving business niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name consists of two parts - 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 SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most famous domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names include two-character abbreviations that symbolize 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 Top-Level Domain or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given TLD may impose, among them the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to customers and manage all DNS records.

Gain Cash From Reselling Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to earn profit from selling domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can set up your own personal electronic business. Normally, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more individuals in regions 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 profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Resell Domain Names Under Your Own Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a site hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer billing software and design themes for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire process together with the vast demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market so alluring. You will either acquire a pre-developed web site and use the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal portal and order form. Generally, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Money From Promoting Webspace Hosting Solutions As Well

A suitable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to customers who wish to create their web page and demand both a domain name and a web space hosting plan. Particular firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free billing software to bill your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared web hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer lots of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the globe.
