Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing platform that furnishes new options to make cash online. One of these opportunities is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end users, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is an expanding marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain involves 2 pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the best known domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names include 2-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and determines the requirements that each particular TLD may contain, like the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to clients and manage all DNS resource records.

Make Cash From Selling Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn revenue from offering domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can establish your very own e-business. As a rule, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more clients in areas or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domains Under Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a website hosting Control Panel where you can set the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide invoice transaction software and web site layouts for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the immense demand for domain names make the domain reseller business so desirable. You will either acquire a turn-key web site and use the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal web portal and order form. Usually, you have the option to choose between the two options, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will work under your own brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Revenue From Promoting Website Hosting Solutions As Well

An excellent addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to people who wish to manage their site and need both a domain name and a web page hosting plan. Some corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free billing software to bill your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared web hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer many different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to users from all around the world.
