Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing system that offers new possibilities to gain money online. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end customers, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is a flourishing business niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

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

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most popular domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names comprise two-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific TLD may involve, including the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to customers and manage all DNS records.

Make Money From Trading Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain profit from offering domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kickstart your own personal e-business. Normally, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more individuals in areas or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Trade TLDs Under Your Own Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will obtain a site hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer billing management software and web design skins for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the increasing demand for domains make the domain name reseller market niche so desirable. You will either acquire a turn-key site and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own web site and order form. Generally, you have the opportunity to pick between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Profit From Offering Website Hosting Services As Well

A logical supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to customers who wish to have their site and require both a domain and a web hosting account. Certain companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing software to charge your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to persons from all over the globe.
