Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding platform that furnishes new ways to make cash on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end customers, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of currently active domain names, so this is a thriving marketing niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name comprises 2 pieces - 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.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most common domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs consist of 2-character abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and determines the requirements that each given top-level domain name may contain, including the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to customers and manage all DNS records.

Gain Cash From Offering Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to make money from offering domains to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can launch your own personal Internet business. As a rule, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can reach more individuals in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. 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 customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Sell Domains On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a website hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer billing software and web design templates for your web shop, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the high demand for domain names make the domain reseller industry so seductive. You will either obtain a pre-built web site and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal site and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the option to choose between the 2 options, so it all depends on how proficient you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your very own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Revenue From Promoting Hosting Plans As Well

An appropriate addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to users who want to create their online portal and need both a domain and a webspace hosting account. Given corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoicing software to charge your customers. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared hosting plans to customers, and since they provide many different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to people from all over the world.
