Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding network that provides new opportunities to gain cash online. One of these opportunities is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end customers, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is a flourishing business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain consists of two parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most widespread domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs consist of 2-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete top-level domain name may involve, including the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain records.

Gain Money From Reselling Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make revenue from selling domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can establish your very own Internet business. Normally, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more individuals in regional communities or states 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 user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a CP where you can settle the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide billing software and web site skins for your web shop, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the vast demand for domain names render the domain reseller business so tempting. You will either have a pre-built website and use the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal site and order form. Commonly, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Revenue From Reselling Webspace Hosting Accounts Too

A good supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thus, you can give a package deal to users who would like to launch their online portal and demand both a domain name and a web page hosting package. A number of companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoice management software to charge your customers. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the world.
