Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing system that provides new ways to gain cash on the Web. One of these options is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end customers, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is an expanding trading niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain comprises 2 parts - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (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 Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most widely used domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names contain 2-character abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and sets the preconditions that each particular top-level domain name may include, such as the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to customers and administer all domain name resource records.

Gain Cash From Trading Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to earn revenue from selling domain names to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can start your very own personal electronic business. Typically, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more persons in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will have a web hosting Control Panel where you can set the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide billing software and themes for your online shop, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the high demand for domains make the domain reseller market niche so tempting. You will either acquire a ready-for-use website and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own personal web site and order form. Generally, you have the option to decide between the 2 options, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your very own personal brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Profit From Trading Web Site Hosting Accounts As Well

A relevant addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to customers who want to set up their web portal and demand both a domain name and a web space hosting account. Given corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing software to bill your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they offer lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to people from all around the world.
