Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging system that offers new options to earn money on the Internet. One of these options is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is a blooming business niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most widely used domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains are made of 2-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and sets the preconditions that each particular Top-Level Domain may include, among them the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to customers and manage all domain name records.

Make Revenue From Offering Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain revenue from offering domains to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can start your very own web business. As a rule, 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 contact more persons in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Sell Domain Names Under Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a site hosting CP where you can select the prices for the different TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide invoice management software and site skins for your web store, and the automation of the entire process together with the towering demand for domains render the domain reseller market niche so attractive. You will either receive a turn-key site and avail of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own web page and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to pick between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how proficient you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will do business on behalf of your personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Cash From Reselling Site Hosting Packages As Well

A reasonable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to individuals who would like to have their online portal and demand both a domain name and a hosting plan. Certain companies supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoice transaction software to charge your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to people from all around the world.
