Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing platform that furnishes new options to gain cash online. One of these opportunities is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end clients, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a blossoming marketing niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name is composed of 2 components - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs are made of 2-character abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and determines the requirements that each concrete TLD may entail, like the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and administer all domain records.

Earn Cash From Reselling Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn profit from offering domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can start your own online business. Usually, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more people in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Sell TLDs On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will receive a CP where you can fix the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide invoice software and web design templates for your web shop, and the automation of the whole process combined with the enlarging demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business so desirable. You will either obtain a turn-key site and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own web page and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the option to decide between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Revenue From Providing Web Site Hosting Solutions As Well

A relevant supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to users who would like to develop their online portal and require both a domain name and a web site hosting package. Certain companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost billing management software to bill your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to individuals from all over the world.
