Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing platform that generates new opportunities to earn cash on the Web. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end clients, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is an enlarging marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain includes two pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most common domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names contain two-character abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and sets the requirements that each specific top-level domain name may entail, such as the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain name records.

Make Profit From Trading Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to earn cash from selling domains to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can initiate your very own online business. As a rule, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more clients in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will have a website hosting CP where you can set the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide billing management software and web site layouts for your web shop, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the increasing demand for domains make the domain reseller business niche so desirable. You will either obtain a pre-made web site and avail of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own personal web portal and order form. Commonly, you have the opportunity to pick between the two options, so it all depends on how expert you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will work under your own personal brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Cash From Providing Webspace Hosting Accounts As Well

A reasonable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to customers who want to manage their site and require both a domain and a hosting account. A number of firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoice transaction software to charge your customers. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the globe.
