Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding community that furnishes new possibilities to earn money on the Web. One of these opportunities is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end clients, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is a flowering trading niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name consists of two pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most widely used domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names include 2-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and determines the requirements that each particular TLD may involve, among them the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all DNS records.

Gain Profit From Offering Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to earn revenue from offering domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kickstart your own personal web business. Normally, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more clients in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Sell TLDs On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will get a site hosting CP where you can select the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer invoicing software and website templates for your web shop, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the flourishing demand for domain names render the domain name reseller business niche so alluring. You will either receive a ready-to-use website and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal site and order form. Generally, you have the option to decide between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your very own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Money From Reselling Web Page Hosting Services As Well

A sensible addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to users who want to make their site and need both a domain name and a hosting package. Given firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoicing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then offer domain names and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer many different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to people from all around the globe.
