Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing system that generates new possibilities to make cash on the Internet. One of these ways is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end users, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is a flowering marketing niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names contain two-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific Top-Level Domain may entail, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain name resource records.

Gain Profit From Offering Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain revenue from selling domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can begin your very own personal web business. Commonly, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more persons in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the separate TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer billing software and web design templates for your web store, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the growing demand for domains make the domain reseller business niche so alluring. You will either have a pre-built website and use the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own web page and order form. Normally, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how skilled you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Promoting Web Hosting Services As Well

A perfect supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to people who would like to establish their web page and need both a domain name and a web space hosting account. A number of firms supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost billing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell domain names and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they offer many diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to customers from all around the world.
