Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing network that furnishes new ways to make cash online. One of these options is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end clients, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is a blossoming business niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name comprises 2 entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most famous domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains are composed of 2-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and sets the requirements that each given TLD may contain, like the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to clients and handle all DNS records.

Make Revenue From Offering Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make cash from selling domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can initiate your very own personal online business. As a rule, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more clients in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Sell Domains Under Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will acquire a webspace hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer invoicing software and website skins for your online store, and the automation of the whole process combined with the considerable demand for domain names make the domain name reseller industry so tempting. You will either get a ready-to-use site and use the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own website and order form. Usually, you have the option to decide between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Cash From Trading Web Site Hosting Accounts Too

A perfect supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to customers who want to create their online portal and require both a domain and a web hosting package. Given companies supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoicing transaction software to bill your clients. You can then offer 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 provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the globe.
