Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing network that delivers new opportunities to gain money on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end users, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is an expanding business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain includes two parts - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most widespread domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names include 2-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each given top-level domain name may contain, including the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain records.

Gain Revenue From Offering Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make revenue from selling domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can build your own e-business. Commonly, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can contact more individuals in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Trade Domains Under Your Very Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a web hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoicing software and site templates for your online storefront, and the automation of the entire process combined with the enormous demand for domains make the domain name reseller business so desirable. You will either receive a ready-to-use website and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own personal website and order form. Commonly, you have the option to decide between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own brand and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Cash From Selling Web Site Hosting Accounts Too

A relevant addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. In this way, you can give a package deal to people who desire to have their site and demand both a domain and a site hosting plan. Given corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoicing transaction software to bill your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the world.
