Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing system that generates new ways to make money on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end clients, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is an increasing marketing niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain involves 2 pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD 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 include the best known domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs comprise 2-character abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names 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 tackles the registrations and sets the preconditions that each concrete Top-Level Domain may have, such as the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain name resource records.

Make Revenue From Selling Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn cash from offering domains to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can kick off your own personal electronic business. Generally, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more persons in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular 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 requires for the domain name registration.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will receive a web hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoice transaction software and design skins for your web shop, and the automation of the entire process together with the rising demand for domain names render the domain name reseller industry so alluring. You will either receive a pre-developed website and avail of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own web site and order form. Commonly, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your very own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Money From Providing Site Hosting Services Too

An appropriate supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to customers who wish to launch their web page and demand both a domain and a web site hosting plan. Certain firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoicing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then offer domains and shared hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to customers from all over the world.
