Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing platform that delivers new options to earn money on the Web. One of these opportunities is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end customers, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is a growing business niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain involves two parts - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most common domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs include 2-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names 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 deals with the registrations and sets the requirements that each specific TLD may impose, among them the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to customers and administer all DNS resource records.

Earn Profit From Selling Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make money from offering domains to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can begin your very own personal e-business. Usually, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can reach more persons in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Trade Top-Level Domains Under Your Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will get a web hosting CP where you can select the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide invoice management software and web design layouts for your online shop, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the strong demand for domains render the domain reseller business so alluring. You will either acquire a turn-key website and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal portal and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the option to decide between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how skillful you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Providing Web Hosting Packages Too

A sensible addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to customers who want to run their online portal and demand both a domain name and a web hosting package. Some corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoice software to charge your customers. You can then sell domains and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they offer many different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
