Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing community that offers new ways to make money on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end customers, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of currently active domain names, so this is an enlarging trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most widely used domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs comprise 2-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and sets the preconditions that each particular top-level domain name may involve, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to customers and manage all domain resource records.

Make Cash From Offering Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to earn cash from selling domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can kickstart your own personal electronic business. Regularly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more persons in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will acquire a web hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoicing transaction software and web page themes for your virtual shop, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the proliferating demand for domains render the domain reseller industry so desirable. You will either receive a ready-made site and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own web page and order form. Normally, you have the option to pick between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Revenue From Reselling Web Page Hosting Accounts As Well

A perfect supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to individuals who wish to make their online portal and require both a domain and a web hosting account. Given corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free billing software to charge your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting plans to customers, and since they offer plenty of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all over the globe.
