Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing platform that furnishes new ways to make cash on the Internet. One of these options is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end clients, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is a blossoming trading niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name comprises two entities - 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.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most conventional domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains include two-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and sets the preconditions that each concrete top-level domain name may include, among them the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain name resource records.

Make Revenue From Selling Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make profit from offering domains to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can launch your very own electronic business. Normally, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can contact more persons in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Trade TLDs Under Your Own Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will acquire a website hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide billing software and web site themes for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the swelling demand for domains make the domain reseller business niche so desirable. You will either acquire a ready-to-use web site and use the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own personal site and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the opportunity to pick between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your own personal brand and not under the Registrar's.

Make Cash From Reselling Hosting Accounts As Well

A reasonable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to customers who desire to establish their online portal and need both a domain name and a hosting account. Some companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoicing software to bill your clients. You can then sell domains and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they offer many different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
