Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing network that offers new options to earn cash online. One of these opportunities is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end clients, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is a thriving trading niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain consists of two parts - 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 Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most popular domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains comprise 2-character abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each specific top-level domain name may have, like the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to customers and handle all DNS records.

Earn Profit From Offering Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain revenue from offering domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can kickstart your own personal web business. Generally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can contact more individuals in regional communities or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Trade Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web page hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoice transaction software and web page layouts for your online shop, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the swelling demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market so alluring. You will either obtain a pre-built site and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own portal and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how expert you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business under your very own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Money From Supplying Web Page Hosting Services Too

A sensible supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to people who would like to develop their web portal and need both a domain name and a web space hosting package. Given companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free billing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell TLDs and shared web hosting plans to customers, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to individuals from all around the globe.
