Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-enlarging network that offers new ways to make money on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end customers, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is a thriving business niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most popular domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs are made of 2-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and determines the preconditions that each specific top-level domain name may contain, among them the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to customers and manage all DNS records.

Gain Profit From Offering Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make profit from selling domains to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can initiate your own Internet business. Usually, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more clients in areas or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Sell Top-Level Domains Under Your Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will receive a site hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide invoicing software and themes for your web shop, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the growing demand for domain names render the domain name reseller market niche so desirable. You will either have a pre-built site and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal site and order form. Commonly, you have the option to pick between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how skilled you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your personal brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Revenue From Trading Webspace Hosting Solutions As Well

A nice supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to people who desire to create their web site and require both a domain name and a web space hosting account. Some corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they offer lots of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to clients from all over the globe.
