Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing community that generates new ways to earn money on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end users, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of presently active domain names, so this is a thriving marketing niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name includes two pieces - 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.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most widespread domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs comprise two-letter abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and determines the requirements that each specific top-level domain name may impose, such as the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain records.

Gain Cash From Offering Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make cash from selling domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can launch your very own electronic business. Usually, 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 client. The cause is that resellers can reach more clients in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Trade Top-Level Domains Under Your Own Brand

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will have a web site hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the separate TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide billing software and design themes for your online store, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the expanding demand for domains render the domain reseller business so desirable. You will either obtain a pre-developed site and make use of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own portal and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the option to select between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your very own personal brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Profit From Offering Web Space Hosting Solutions Too

A reasonable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to persons who wish to establish their online portal and need both a domain name and a site hosting account. A number of firms have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and charge-free billing management software to charge your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they offer many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to clients from all around the world.
