Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing platform that generates new ways to gain money online. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end customers, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a thriving trading niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the best known domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs consist of two-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, 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 sets the prerequisites that each given TLD may have, among them the length of the registration period 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 resource records.

Earn Revenue From Selling Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to gain profit from offering domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your very own personal electronic business. Generally, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can reach more customers in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Offer TLDs On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will receive a webspace hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the various top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoice transaction software and site themes for your web store, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the immense demand for domains render the domain name reseller market so desirable. You will either acquire a ready-to-use website and avail of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own website and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to select between the 2 options, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your personal brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Revenue From Promoting Hosting Accounts Too

A sensible addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to persons who wish to develop their website and require both a domain and a web site hosting account. Some corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoice software to bill your customers. You can then sell TLDs and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they offer lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to clients from all around the globe.
