Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging community that generates new possibilities to earn cash online. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end customers, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is a flourishing marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain involves two pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most widely used domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs include two-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and determines the requirements that each specific Top-Level Domain may include, such as the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain name records.

Earn Profit From Reselling Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make money from offering domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can build your very own electronic business. As a rule, 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 reason is that resellers can contact more individuals in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Sell TLDs On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will have a web site hosting CP where you can select the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoicing transaction software and templates for your online shop, and the automation of the whole process combined with the flourishing demand for domain names make the domain name reseller industry so tempting. You will either acquire a ready-to-use website and use the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own portal and order form. Generally, you have the option to pick between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your own brand and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Revenue From Promoting Web Page Hosting Plans As Well

A nice addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to individuals who would like to set up their web site and need both a domain name and a webspace hosting package. Some companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free billing management software to bill your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting packages to clients, and since they provide many different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to people from all over the world.
