Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing network that generates new opportunities to make cash on the Internet. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end customers, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is a developing marketing niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain includes two components - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most common domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs are made of 2-character abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that manages the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each concrete top-level domain name may include, like the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to customers and administer all domain name resource records.

Earn Profit From Selling Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make cash from offering domains to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can establish your very own Internet business. As a rule, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can contact more people in regions or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Trade Domains On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a webspace hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer invoice transaction software and web layouts for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire process combined with the great demand for domain names make the domain reseller market so seductive. You will either get a ready-for-use website and make use of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal web portal and order form. Traditionally, you have the option to select between the two options, so it all depends on how expert you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your very own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Offering Web Page Hosting Accounts Too

A nice addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to persons who wish to run their website and need both a domain name and a web hosting plan. A few firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoice software to bill your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they provide plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to persons from all around the world.
