Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing platform that offers new opportunities to earn cash online. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end customers, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is a blooming marketing niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name consists of two entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names include two-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given TLD may contain, among them the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain name records.

Earn Revenue From Offering Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain profit from offering domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can launch your own Internet business. Regularly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can contact more people in areas or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will cash in on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Offer TLDs On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a web site hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the separate TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer invoice software and web site templates for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the increasing demand for domains make the domain reseller industry so desirable. You will either receive a ready-to-use site and make use of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal web page and order form. Typically, you have the opportunity to choose between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your personal brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Supplying Web Space Hosting Solutions Too

A logical addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. In this way, you can give a package deal to customers who would like to make their site and require both a domain name and a website hosting package. A few corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free billing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then offer domain names and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to persons from all over the globe.
