Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-enlarging community that provides new options to make money on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and offer domain names to end customers, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is an increasing marketing niche that you can become a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain comprises 2 constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most popular domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs comprise two-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Instances 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 top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and sets the preconditions that each given Top-Level Domain may entail, among them the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all DNS resource records.

Earn Profit From Offering Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to gain profit from offering domains to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can launch your own personal e-business. Usually, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more individuals in local communities or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will cash in 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.

Trade TLDs Under Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will get a webspace hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the various top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide billing transaction software and web page templates for your online storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the flourishing demand for domain names render the domain name reseller market so alluring. You will either acquire a pre-made website and use the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own online portal and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to select between the two options, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your very own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Money From Supplying Hosting Accounts As Well

A sensible supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to people who desire to create their web page and demand both a domain name and a website hosting package. A few companies 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-charge billing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell domain names and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they provide many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the globe.
