Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding community that provides new opportunities to earn money on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end clients, gaining 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 functioning domains, so this is a thriving marketing niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name includes 2 entities - 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 SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most famous domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains involve two-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 or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and sets the requirements that each given top-level domain name may impose, like the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to customers and manage all domain resource records.

Earn Cash From Selling Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain profit from offering domains to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can set up your own electronic business. Normally, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more people in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Sell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will obtain a web page hosting Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the different TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer invoice transaction software and web page themes for your web storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the rising demand for domain names render the domain name reseller business so desirable. You will either receive a pre-built web site and avail of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal site and order form. Normally, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how skillful you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your very own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Money From Promoting Web Space Hosting Services Too

A reasonable addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to clients who desire to make their online portal and require both a domain and a web hosting package. Certain companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free invoice transaction software to charge your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared hosting plans to clients, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
