Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging network that supplies new possibilities to earn money on the Internet. One of these ways is to become a domain reseller and offer domains to end users, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is a flourishing trading niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain is composed of two entities - a top-level domain name (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.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the best known domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs contain 2-character abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and sets the preconditions that each concrete top-level domain name may contain, like the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to customers and handle all domain name resource records.

Make Cash From Reselling Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make cash from selling domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can set up your very own web business. Typically, a domain will be cheaper 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 persons in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

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

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will acquire a web hosting CP where you can set the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer invoicing transaction software and website layouts for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the swelling demand for domains render the domain reseller business so desirable. You will either get a ready-for-use web site and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own web site and order form. Usually, you have the option to select between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will do business on behalf of your own brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Selling Web Page Hosting Packages Too

An appropriate supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. In this way, you can give a package deal to individuals who want to launch their site and demand both a domain and a web space hosting plan. Certain corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoice transaction software to bill your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared hosting packages to clients, and since they provide lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to customers from all around the globe.
