Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-enlarging platform that supplies new options to earn cash on the Web. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end customers, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is an increasing trading niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name is made of 2 entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most widespread domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names consist of two-character abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and determines the requirements that each given top-level domain name may entail, such as the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to customers and administer all DNS records.

Earn Profit From Selling Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn cash from selling domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can set up your very own online business. As a rule, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can contact more customers in regions or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Trade Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will have a web site hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide billing software and website themes for your virtual shop, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the flourishing demand for domains render the domain name reseller business niche so desirable. You will either receive a turn-key web site and use the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own personal portal and order form. Normally, you have the opportunity to select between the two options, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Providing Hosting Accounts Too

A nice supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to individuals who would like to manage their web site and need both a domain name and a web space hosting account. A number of firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost billing transaction software to bill your clients. You can then sell TLDs and shared hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to people from all around the world.
