Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing community that offers new ways to gain money on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end clients, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a thriving marketing niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain is made of two parts - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most common domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs involve two-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each given Top-Level Domain may entail, including the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to customers and manage all domain resource records.

Make Cash From Reselling Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain revenue from offering domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can commence your very own personal e-business. Typically, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more users in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Sell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will get a web page hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the different TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide billing software and web design skins for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the immense demand for domain names render the domain name reseller business niche so desirable. You will either acquire a turn-key website and use the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal web page and order form. Usually, you have the option to decide between the 2 options, so it all depends on how advanced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Money From Selling Web Space Hosting Services As Well

A reasonable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to persons who want to launch their site and demand both a domain name and a web page hosting package. Some companies supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and cost-free invoice software to charge your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting packages to customers, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the globe.
