Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing community that offers new options to gain cash online. One of them is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end clients, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is an expanding marketing niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain contains 2 pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most popular domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains include two-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a gTLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given top-level domain name may have, including the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to customers and administer all DNS records.

Gain Revenue From Selling Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain cash from offering domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can launch your own personal Internet business. As a rule, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can reach more people in regions or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will cash in on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Resell TLDs Under Your Own Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will get a hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide invoice software and site layouts for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the strong demand for domains make the domain name reseller market so desirable. You will either obtain a pre-made web site and use the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own personal portal and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to pick between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how advanced you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your very own brand and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Promoting Web Space Hosting Plans Too

An excellent addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to individuals who wish to build their site and require both a domain name and a web site hosting package. Certain corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they offer lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to customers from all around the globe.
