Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing network that provides new possibilities to earn cash on the Web. One of these options is to be a domain reseller and offer domain names to end users, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a flourishing trading niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain involves two components - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most famous domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs consist of 2-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names 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 institution that handles the registrations and determines the requirements that each particular top-level domain name may contain, such as the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and manage all domain name records.

Make Profit From Trading Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain cash from offering domains to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can build your own personal electronic business. Typically, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can reach more people in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a site hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer invoice management software and website skins for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the expanding demand for domain names make the domain reseller market so attractive. You will either get a pre-made site and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal website and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the option to decide between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will do business on behalf of your personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Revenue From Supplying Web Hosting Packages Too

A suitable addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to users who wish to set up their online portal and require both a domain and a web page hosting package. A number of companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost billing software to bill your customers. You can then offer domain names and shared web hosting plans to customers, and since they provide lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
