Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing network that provides new possibilities to gain cash on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end customers, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently active domains, so this is an enlarging marketing niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains are made of 2-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and sets the requirements that each given Top-Level Domain may involve, including the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain name records.

Earn Cash From Reselling Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to make revenue from selling domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can set up your very own personal electronic business. Generally, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more people in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Sell Top-Level Domains Under Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will get a web page hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide invoice software and design templates for your virtual shop, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the high demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market so seductive. You will either have a pre-developed site and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own site and order form. Generally, you have the option to choose between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your very own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Revenue From Supplying Webspace Hosting Plans Too

A nice addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. In this way, you can give a package deal to users who wish to create their website and need both a domain name and a web hosting account. A few companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge billing software to bill your customers. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all over the globe.
