Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing system that furnishes new opportunities to earn money on the Web. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is a blossoming trading niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain involves 2 parts - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".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 generic Top-Level Domains include the most popular domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs are composed of 2-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and determines the requirements that each particular Top-Level Domain may contain, 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 firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all DNS records.

Make Cash From Trading Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn cash from offering domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can launch your own electronic business. Usually, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more users in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Sell TLDs Under Your Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will get a site hosting CP where you can set the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer billing software and design themes for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the big demand for domains render the domain reseller business niche so alluring. You will either obtain a pre-built website and utilize the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal web page and order form. Usually, you have the option to decide between the 2 alternatives, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Revenue From Promoting Web Space Hosting Accounts As Well

A sensible supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to persons who would like to manage their site and require both a domain and a website hosting plan. Particular corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and charge-free billing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell domains and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide lots of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to customers from all around the globe.
