Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing network that provides new options to make cash on the Internet. One of these ways is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end customers, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is a flourishing marketing niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name comprises two pieces - 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 second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most widely used domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains comprise 2-character abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each particular Top-Level Domain may include, among them the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and administer all DNS resource records.

Make Revenue From Reselling Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain money from selling domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kickstart your very own personal electronic business. Typically, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can contact more customers in regional communities or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Offer TLDs Under Your Own Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will have a website hosting Control Panel where you can set the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide invoicing transaction software and design templates for your web store, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the increasing demand for domain names make the domain reseller market niche so seductive. You will either obtain a pre-built site and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own online portal and order form. Usually, you have the option to decide between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how trained you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your very own trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Money From Reselling Site Hosting Services As Well

An adequate addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to people who wish to have their website and require both a domain name and a web hosting account. Given firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoice software to bill your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they provide a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all around the globe.
