Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing system that offers new possibilities to earn money on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end customers, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently active domain names, so this is a blooming business niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name includes 2 pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most popular domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs are composed of 2-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and sets the requirements that each particular Top-Level Domain may involve, among them the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and administer all DNS records.

Earn Profit From Offering Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to gain revenue from offering domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can establish your own e-business. Regularly, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more customers in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Sell Top-Level Domains Under Your Very Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will get a Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide billing software and web page templates for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the flourishing demand for domain names make the domain reseller business so attractive. You will either obtain a pre-built website and use the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal web portal and order form. Generally, you have the option to select between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your very own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Reselling Webspace Hosting Services Too

A logical addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to individuals who want to run their website and demand both a domain name and a hosting account. Certain companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoicing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then offer domains and shared hosting plans to clients, and since they offer a lot of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to users from all over the world.
