Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding community that supplies new opportunities to gain cash on the Internet. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end users, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is a thriving marketing niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the best known domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains comprise 2-character abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and determines the requirements that each concrete Top-Level Domain may entail, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to customers and manage all DNS records.

Earn Cash From Offering Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn revenue from selling domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can initiate your own personal e-business. Commonly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can reach more customers in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. 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.

Resell Top-Level Domains Under Your Own Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will have a web space hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer invoice software and themes for your web store, and the automation of the whole process together with the expanding demand for domains make the domain name reseller industry so tempting. You will either obtain a ready-made site and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal website and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to decide between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will operate under your very own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Cash From Providing Hosting Plans As Well

An adequate supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. In this way, you can give a package deal to individuals who wish to run their web page and need both a domain and a hosting account. A few firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoicing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then offer domain names and shared website hosting packages to customers, and since they provide many different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to clients from all around the globe.
