Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding platform that furnishes new opportunities to earn cash on the Web. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end customers, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is a flourishing trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the best known domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs contain two-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each given Top-Level Domain may involve, such as the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain name records.

Gain Revenue From Selling Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn revenue from selling domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can initiate your very own web business. Generally, 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 reason is that resellers can contact more customers in regions or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Offer TLDs On Behalf Of Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will obtain a web site hosting CP where you can set the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoicing software and website templates for your online shop, and the automation of the entire process together with the significant demand for domains render the domain name reseller business niche so desirable. You will either obtain a pre-built site and use the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own web portal and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the opportunity to decide between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your very own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Providing Site Hosting Services Too

A logical supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to customers who wish to make their website and need both a domain and a web hosting account. Particular corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoicing software to charge your clients. You can then sell domain names and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to users from all over the world.
