Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing network that supplies new opportunities to gain money online. One of them is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, making profit 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 millions of presently functioning domains, so this is an expanding marketing niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name involves 2 parts - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most conventional domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names involve two-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that manages the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given Top-Level Domain may include, among them the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to customers and administer all DNS records.

Make Profit From Reselling Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn cash from offering domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can start your own personal electronic business. Normally, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more people in regions or countries where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide billing transaction software and web site themes for your virtual shop, and the automation of the whole process together with the great demand for domain names render the domain name reseller business so tempting. You will either acquire a pre-made site and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal web site and order form. Usually, you have the opportunity to choose between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Profit From Offering Webspace Hosting Accounts As Well

A logical supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. In this way, you can give a package deal to individuals who wish to develop their web page and need both a domain and a web hosting plan. Certain corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free invoicing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then sell TLDs and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they provide plenty of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to people from all over the world.
