Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging platform that supplies new possibilities to gain money on the Internet. One of these ways is to become a domain reseller and offer domains to end clients, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is an enlarging marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name is made of 2 parts - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most widespread domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains contain 2-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains 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 organization that tackles the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each specific top-level domain name may have, including the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all DNS resource records.

Make Cash From Reselling Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn profit from offering domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can start your very own personal online business. Generally, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more users in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Sell TLDs Under Your Own Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will receive a Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide invoicing transaction software and skins for your virtual shop, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the considerable demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business so attractive. You will either have a ready-for-use website and avail of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own online portal and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the opportunity to choose between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Cash From Trading Webspace Hosting Plans Too

A proper supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to individuals who wish to make their web portal and require both a domain name and a web hosting package. A few 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 name reseller account and free-of-cost billing transaction software to bill your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared hosting plans to clients, and since they offer many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
