Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-enlarging community that generates new options to earn money on the Web. One of them is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is a flowering business niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name is made of 2 constituents - a Top-Level Domain (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 Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most conventional domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs involve two-character abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each particular top-level domain name may include, like the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to clients and administer all domain resource records.

Gain Cash From Reselling Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make money from offering domains to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can establish your own web business. Commonly, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can contact more clients in local communities or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Sell Domains On Behalf Of Your Own Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will obtain a webspace hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer invoice management software and website templates for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the swelling demand for domain names make the domain reseller business so alluring. You will either receive a pre-made web site and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own website and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to pick between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how advanced you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will operate under your personal brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Money From Supplying Web Space Hosting Accounts As Well

A suitable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to persons who would like to make their online portal and require both a domain and a web hosting plan. Particular corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoicing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the world.
