Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing platform that furnishes new opportunities to make money online. One of these possibilities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end clients, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is a blooming marketing niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name involves 2 entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most conventional domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs consist of two-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and sets the preconditions that each given TLD may entail, like the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to clients and handle all DNS resource records.

Make Cash From Reselling Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to earn cash from selling domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can establish your own personal Internet business. Normally, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more customers in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will earn a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Resell Domains On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will receive a site hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer invoicing software and web templates for your virtual shop, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the big demand for domains make the domain reseller market so attractive. You will either have a pre-built web site and make use of the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own web page and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the option to pick between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Profit From Selling Web Page Hosting Plans Too

A good addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to customers who wish to run their web portal and need both a domain and a web hosting package. Particular firms have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost billing management software to charge your clients. You can then sell domains and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the world.
