Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing community that supplies new possibilities to earn cash online. One of these opportunities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end users, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is a flowering marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name is composed of 2 pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most popular domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains comprise two-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given Top-Level Domain may contain, including the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all DNS records.

Earn Revenue From Offering Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain money from offering domain names to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can commence your own online business. Generally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more individuals in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Sell Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will have a hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoicing transaction software and templates for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the increasing demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business so attractive. You will either get a ready-made site and use the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal web site and order form. Generally, you have the option to pick between the two options, so it all depends on how trained you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Providing Web Page Hosting Packages As Well

A sensible supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to customers who want to manage their online portal and require both a domain name and a web page hosting account. Given companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoicing software to charge your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting packages to clients, and since they offer plenty of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to people from all over the globe.
