Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing network that generates new ways to gain cash online. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end customers, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is a blooming marketing niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain comprises 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 name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most widespread domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains contain 2-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given top-level domain name may have, including the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain resource records.

Earn Revenue From Offering Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn revenue from selling domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kick off your very own personal e-business. Usually, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more persons in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit 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 registration.

Trade TLDs Under Your Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will receive a hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoice transaction software and web templates for your virtual shop, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the vast demand for domain names make the domain reseller market niche so seductive. You will either get a pre-developed website and make use of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own web page and order form. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to select between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how expert you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Cash From Selling Web Site Hosting Solutions As Well

A reasonable addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to customers who desire to set up their online portal and demand both a domain and a web page hosting account. Some corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge billing management software to charge your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they offer many different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
