Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-enlarging platform that generates new ways to earn money on the Web. One of these ways is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end users, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of presently active domain names, so this is an increasing marketing niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name consists of two parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the best known domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs contain 2-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each specific Top-Level Domain may entail, including the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain name records.

Make Cash From Reselling Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make revenue from offering domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your very own online business. Typically, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more individuals in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. 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 client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Resell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will obtain a website hosting Control Panel where you can set the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer billing management software and themes for your web shop, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the strong demand for domains render the domain name reseller industry so desirable. You will either receive a pre-made site and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal portal and order form. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your very own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Revenue From Promoting Hosting Packages Too

A perfect addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to people who desire to have their web portal and demand both a domain name and a web page hosting account. A number of corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoice software to bill your customers. You can then sell domain names and shared hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
