Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-enlarging system that delivers new options to earn cash on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end customers, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is an expanding trading niche that you can become a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain consists of 2 parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (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 Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most widespread domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains consist of two-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each concrete TLD may have, among them the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to customers and administer all DNS resource records.

Gain Cash From Reselling Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain revenue from selling domains to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can kickstart your own personal web business. Regularly, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can contact more clients in regional districts 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 user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Offer Domains On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web site hosting Control Panel where you can set the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoice software and design themes for your virtual shop, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the growing demand for domains make the domain reseller business niche so desirable. You will either receive a ready-made website and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own personal web portal and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the option to choose between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Cash From Providing Web Space Hosting Packages As Well

An adequate addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to users who want to run their site and demand both a domain and a webspace hosting account. Given companies supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoice transaction software to bill your clients. You can then sell TLDs and shared web hosting plans to customers, and since they offer many different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to customers from all around the world.
