Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding system that supplies new possibilities to make cash online. One of these ways is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end customers, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of currently active domain names, so this is a thriving marketing niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name involves 2 constituents - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most famous domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs contain two-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and determines the requirements that each particular top-level domain name may include, including the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and manage all DNS records.

Make Money From Trading Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to earn revenue from selling domains to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can commence your own personal Internet business. Generally, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can contact more individuals in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will 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 name registration.

Sell TLDs Under Your Own Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a website hosting CP where you can set the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide billing software and web site skins for your virtual shop, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the swelling demand for domains render the domain reseller market niche so alluring. You will either get a ready-for-use website and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal web portal and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the option to choose between the two options, so it all depends on how advanced you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will do business on behalf of your very own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Selling Web Space Hosting Services Too

An appropriate supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to users who wish to launch their web portal and require both a domain and a hosting account. Certain firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoice transaction software to bill your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to persons from all over the globe.
