Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding community that delivers new opportunities to gain money on the Internet. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end users, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is an expanding marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most famous domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs comprise 2-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and sets the preconditions that each given Top-Level Domain may have, such as the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to clients and manage all DNS records.

Gain Cash From Trading Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make cash from offering domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can initiate your very own personal electronic business. Normally, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can contact more people in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Sell Top-Level Domains Under Your Own Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will get a Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoicing software and web design layouts for your web shop, and the automation of the whole process combined with the swelling demand for domain names render the domain reseller business niche so desirable. You will either have a turn-key site 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 create your own personal web page and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the option to select between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Money From Offering Website Hosting Plans As Well

A nice supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thus, you can give a package deal to users who desire to run their web site and require both a domain name and a web hosting plan. Some corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge billing software to bill your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting packages to clients, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to clients from all over the globe.
