Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing platform that delivers new possibilities to make cash on the Internet. One of these ways is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end customers, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price 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 flowering marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain includes two entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains involve 2-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and sets the requirements that each given TLD may include, such as the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and handle all domain name resource records.

Earn Revenue From Offering Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to earn cash from offering domains to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can start your own personal web business. Generally, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can contact more individuals in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will cash in on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Trade Domains Under Your Own Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a CP where you can settle the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer billing transaction software and website templates for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the towering demand for domains make the domain reseller business so alluring. You will either obtain a turn-key web site and utilize the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own web page and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the opportunity to choose between the two options, so it all depends on how proficient you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will work under your own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Cash From Selling Web Site Hosting Plans Too

A good supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to customers who want to run their web site and require both a domain name and a web hosting account. A number of companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost billing software to bill your clients. You can then sell domain names and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they provide many different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the world.
