Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing platform that delivers new opportunities to gain cash online. One of them is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end clients, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domains, so this is a blooming marketing niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name comprises two parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs are made of two-character abbreviations that symbolize 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 or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given TLD may include, including the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to clients and administer all DNS records.

Make Money From Selling Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain profit from selling domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can set up your very own personal e-business. Typically, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more people in provinces or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will get a site hosting CP where you can select the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer invoicing transaction software and themes for your online storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the swelling demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market so attractive. You will either receive a turn-key site and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own site and order form. Normally, you have the opportunity to select between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will operate under your very own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Providing Hosting Accounts Too

A logical addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to users who desire to develop their web page and require both a domain and a hosting account. Certain companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and charge-free billing management software to charge your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared web hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide many different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to clients from all over the globe.
