Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing platform that offers new possibilities to gain cash on the Web. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end customers, generating profit 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 presently active domain names, so this is a thriving business niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain consists of two entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most common domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs are made of two-letter abbreviations that signify 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 or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and determines the preconditions that each particular Top-Level Domain may entail, such as the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain records.

Gain Revenue From Reselling Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn profit from offering domains to end users. If you register with such a program, you can establish your own personal online business. As a rule, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more individuals in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides 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 requires for the domain registration.

Sell Domains Under Your Very Own Brand

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a webspace hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide invoicing software and website templates for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire process combined with the significant demand for domain names make the domain reseller business niche so attractive. You will either get a turn-key website and make use of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own web page and order form. Traditionally, you have the option to select between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Revenue From Selling Hosting Packages Too

A perfect supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. In this way, you can give a package deal to individuals who would like to manage their web site and demand both a domain name and a site hosting package. Particular companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free billing software to bill your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the globe.
