Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging platform that offers new options to earn cash online. One of these ways is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is a flowering trading niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain consists of 2 constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most conventional domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains contain two-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each specific TLD may involve, such as the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain name resource records.

Gain Profit From Selling Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn revenue from offering domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can begin 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 straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more clients in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize 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.

Trade Domains On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the separate TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoicing transaction software and web themes for your web shop, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the enlarging demand for domains render the domain name reseller business so tempting. You will either acquire a pre-made site and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal online portal and order form. Commonly, you have the option to select between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your own personal brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Reselling Web Site Hosting Solutions Too

A sensible supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to individuals who wish to manage their web portal and demand both a domain and a web hosting account. Some corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoicing transaction software to bill your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to individuals from all around the globe.
