Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing system that provides new ways to make money on the Internet. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end customers, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domains, so this is a flourishing trading niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain consists of 2 components - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most common domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains are composed of 2-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given Top-Level Domain may have, including the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to customers and administer all DNS records.

Make Revenue From Offering Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make cash from offering domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your own e-business. Normally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can contact more users in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Sell TLDs Under Your Very Own Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will receive a site hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer billing software and design themes for your online store, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the enormous demand for domain names make the domain reseller market so tempting. You will either obtain a pre-made web site and use the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own web portal and order form. Usually, you have the option to pick between the 2 options, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your own trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Cash From Offering Web Page Hosting Packages Too

A sensible addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to users who want to make their site and need both a domain and a website hosting plan. Given companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoice transaction software to charge your customers. You can then sell domains and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they provide lots of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to customers from all over the world.
