Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging system that delivers new possibilities to make money online. One of these options is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end users, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is an expanding business niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name comprises 2 parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

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 famous domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs consist of 2-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each particular Top-Level Domain may have, including the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all DNS resource records.

Gain Money From Selling Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make money from offering domains to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can commence your very own electronic business. Generally, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can contact more clients in areas or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Sell TLDs On Behalf Of Your Own Brand

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will acquire a website hosting CP where you can select the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer billing transaction software and web page themes for your web store, and the automation of the entire process combined with the big demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business niche so tempting. You will either receive a pre-built site and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal online portal and order form. Normally, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will work under your own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Cash From Selling Site Hosting Plans Too

A relevant addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to clients who would like to run their web page and need both a domain and a web page hosting account. Given companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoice transaction software to bill your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they provide a lot of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all over the world.
