Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing network that generates new options to earn cash online. One of them is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end customers, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a growing trading niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most famous domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs are made of two-character abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and determines the requirements that each given top-level domain name may impose, like the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain name records.

Gain Revenue From Offering Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain cash from selling domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your own personal electronic business. Commonly, 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 customer. The explanation is that resellers can contact more users in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on 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 TLDs Under Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a web space hosting CP where you can set the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide billing transaction software and web site layouts for your web shop, and the automation of the whole process together with the enlarging demand for domain names render the domain name reseller industry so seductive. You will either acquire a ready-for-use website and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own website and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Reselling Web Space Hosting Solutions Too

A good addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to people who desire to launch their website and require both a domain name and a webspace hosting account. Certain companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoice management software to charge your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared website hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer plenty of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to clients from all around the world.
