Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing community that supplies new options to make money on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end users, gaining 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 millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is a blossoming business niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain comprises two entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most widespread domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs comprise 2-character abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific TLD may include, among them the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain records.

Earn Money From Reselling Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to gain money from offering domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can start your very own personal online business. Normally, 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 user. The cause is that resellers can reach more users in areas or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit 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 TLDs On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will have a hosting CP where you can select the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide billing transaction software and web page skins for your web shop, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the considerable demand for domains make the domain name reseller industry so attractive. You will either receive a ready-for-use website and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal portal and order form. Generally, you have the opportunity to decide between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how expert you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Money From Supplying Web Page Hosting Solutions Too

An adequate supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to individuals who would like to manage their site and require both a domain name and a web page hosting account. Certain companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge billing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to clients from all over the globe.
