Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing platform that provides new possibilities to gain money on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end users, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of presently active domain names, so this is a blooming business niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name includes two pieces - a top-level domain name (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 TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most widespread domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains are made of 2-character abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete Top-Level Domain may have, such as the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to clients and handle all DNS records.

Make Profit From Selling Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make revenue from selling domains to end users. If you register with such a program, you can kick off your own personal web business. Commonly, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can reach more clients in regions or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Resell Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will get a web hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer invoice management software and web site themes for your online shop, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the significant demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business niche so attractive. You will either receive a pre-made website and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own online portal and order form. Usually, you have the opportunity to select between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your very own personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Revenue From Promoting Webspace Hosting Solutions As Well

A reasonable supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to customers who want to make their online portal and require both a domain name and a web page hosting account. Given companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoice software to charge your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide lots of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to individuals from all over the globe.
