Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing system that supplies new options to earn money online. One of these options is to be a domain name 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. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is a developing business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most widespread domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names are composed of 2-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples 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 or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and sets the preconditions that each concrete Top-Level Domain may have, including the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain records.

Make Cash From Reselling Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain money from selling domains to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can commence your own online business. Usually, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can contact more persons in areas or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will profit 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 name registration.

Resell Domains On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will receive a webspace hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the various top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide invoice software and website layouts for your web shop, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the swelling demand for domains render the domain reseller business niche so tempting. You will either obtain a ready-made web site and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal web page and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to decide between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how expert you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Revenue From Reselling Website Hosting Accounts Too

A perfect supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to people who want to make their web page and need both a domain and a web page hosting package. Certain companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free billing management software to bill your customers. You can then offer domains and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they offer plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the globe.
