Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding platform that generates new options to make money on the Web. One of these possibilities is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is an enlarging trading niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name is composed of two pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most widespread domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs are made of two-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and determines the requirements that each specific TLD may have, like the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and administer all DNS records.

Earn Money From Offering Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to gain cash from offering domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can launch your own online business. Regularly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more people in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Trade Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will receive a hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer invoice transaction software and website layouts for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the expanding demand for domain names render the domain reseller market niche so tempting. You will either get a ready-for-use site and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own personal online portal and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the option to pick between the two options, so it all depends on how trained you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Money From Selling Web Page Hosting Services Too

A perfect supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to customers who wish to run their online portal and require both a domain and a website hosting account. Given corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and charge-free billing software to bill your clients. You can then sell TLDs and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they provide lots of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all over the globe.
