Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging platform that delivers new possibilities to make money on the Internet. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is a growing business niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most widely used domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names comprise 2-character abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names 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 institution that handles the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each particular top-level domain name may entail, like the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to clients and administer all domain name records.

Make Revenue From Offering Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to gain profit from selling domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can build your own personal electronic business. As a rule, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more persons in regional communities 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 client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains Under Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will have a web page hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer billing management software and design layouts for your online storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the swelling demand for domain names render the domain name reseller market so attractive. You will either acquire a ready-for-use website 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 make your own personal portal and order form. Normally, you have the opportunity to choose between the two options, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will operate under your own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Money From Supplying Website Hosting Solutions Too

A logical supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to individuals who wish to run their online portal and need both a domain name and a website hosting plan. Certain companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoicing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they offer many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the globe.
