Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing community that provides new possibilities to earn money on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end customers, 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 day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is an enlarging business niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain contains two parts - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most famous domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs contain two-character abbreviations that stand for 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 top-level domain name or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete Top-Level Domain may impose, like the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain name resource records.

Earn Profit From Trading Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to earn revenue from selling domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can commence your very own personal web business. As a rule, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more users in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will cash in 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 name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Brand

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the various top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer billing transaction software and web design layouts for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the swelling demand for domain names render the domain name reseller business niche so attractive. You will either get a pre-built website and make use of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own web portal and order form. Usually, you have the option to pick between the two options, so it all revolves around how skillful you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your own brand and not under the Registrar's.

Make Money From Trading Hosting Accounts As Well

An excellent addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. In this way, you can give a package deal to clients who desire to establish their web page and demand both a domain and a web space hosting account. A number of firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free invoice transaction software to charge your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they offer many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to people from all around the world.
