Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing community that delivers new opportunities to make money on the Internet. One of these ways is to become a domain reseller and sell domains to end clients, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently active domain names, so this is a thriving marketing niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

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

Earn Profit From Selling Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make revenue from offering domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can kickstart your very own personal web business. Commonly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more clients in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will cash in on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Very Own Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a site hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer invoice transaction software and site skins for your online store, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the rising demand for domain names make the domain reseller business niche so attractive. You will either receive a turn-key web site and avail of the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own site and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to decide between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your very own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Profit From Trading Hosting Plans As Well

A proper addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to customers who want to establish their website and demand both a domain and a website hosting account. Certain companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free billing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they provide plenty of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all over the globe.
