Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-enlarging network that supplies new opportunities to gain cash on the Web. One of them is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end users, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently active domain names, so this is a blossoming business niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain contains two constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".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 include the most widely used domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs contain 2-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each given top-level domain name may involve, including the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to customers and handle all domain name resource records.

Make Cash From Offering Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make cash from offering domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can build your own web business. Regularly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more clients in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Sell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Brand

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will have a web hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer billing transaction software and web page layouts for your online shop, and the automation of the entire process together with the high demand for domain names render the domain reseller market so desirable. You will either acquire a pre-made web site and use the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal site and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your very own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Cash From Offering Site Hosting Solutions As Well

A suitable addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to persons who desire to make their web site and require both a domain name and a web page hosting account. Some firms supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and cost-free invoice management software to bill your customers. You can then sell TLDs and shared web hosting packages to clients, and since they offer plenty of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to customers from all over the globe.
