Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding system that furnishes new options to earn money on the Web. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end customers, making profit 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 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is a growing marketing niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most widely used domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains comprise 2-letter 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 name or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and sets the requirements that each given top-level domain name may entail, among them the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to customers and administer all DNS resource records.

Earn Cash From Trading Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to earn money from offering domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can start your very own personal web business. Typically, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can reach more users in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Trade Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will get a hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide billing management software and web design layouts for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the towering demand for domains render the domain name reseller industry so attractive. You will either have a pre-built website and use the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own personal site and order form. Normally, you have the opportunity to decide between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how skilled you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your personal brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Money From Reselling Webspace Hosting Services As Well

A proper addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thus, you can give a package deal to persons who wish to manage their web site and demand both a domain and a site hosting package. Particular companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free billing software to charge your clients. You can then offer domains and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to individuals from all over the world.
