Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging network that offers new possibilities to gain money online. One of them is to be a domain reseller and offer domain names to end customers, 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 and every day, and there are millions of presently active domains, so this is a flowering trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most famous domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names consist of two-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and sets the preconditions that each given Top-Level Domain may entail, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain name records.

Make Cash From Trading Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make cash from offering domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your own online business. Generally, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more users in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will have a web space hosting CP where you can set the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer billing software and web design templates for your online shop, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the expanding demand for domains make the domain name reseller market so alluring. You will either get a ready-to-use website and make use of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal web site and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 options, so it all depends on how advanced you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will operate under your very own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Revenue From Supplying Hosting Solutions As Well

A suitable supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to individuals who wish to create their online portal and require both a domain and a web space hosting plan. Particular companies supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoicing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer many different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to people from all over the globe.
