Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing platform that offers new possibilities to make money on the Web. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end clients, making 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 1 000 000's of currently functioning domains, so this is an enlarging business niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name consists of 2 entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most popular domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names are composed of two-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each given Top-Level Domain may have, including the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to customers and administer all DNS records.

Make Money From Offering Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make money from selling domains to end users. If you register with such a program, you can build your very own online business. Commonly, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can contact more users in regional communities or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Very Own Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a web site hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide billing software and templates for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the big demand for domain names render the domain name reseller market so tempting. You will either receive a ready-to-use site and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own portal and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to decide between the two options, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Revenue From Reselling Web Hosting Accounts As Well

A sensible addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to clients who would like to launch their online portal and demand both a domain name and a website hosting package. Given firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free invoicing software to bill your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared hosting packages to clients, and since they offer a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to people from all around the world.
