Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing system that supplies new options to earn cash online. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end clients, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a developing business niche that you can become a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain is composed of 2 pieces - a top-level domain name (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.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most widespread domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names involve two-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given Top-Level Domain may have, among them the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all DNS records.

Gain Cash From Selling Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make revenue from offering domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kick off your own personal online business. Generally, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can contact more persons in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Offer Domain Names Under Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will receive a webspace hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide billing software and site layouts for your virtual shop, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the great demand for domain names make the domain reseller market so alluring. You will either have a ready-for-use site and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal online portal and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to choose between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how accomplished you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Revenue From Trading Site Hosting Services As Well

A reasonable supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to individuals who would like to manage their site and need both a domain name and a web site hosting plan. A few firms have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost billing software to bill your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared hosting plans to clients, and since they provide plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to people from all over the globe.
