Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding community that provides new options to make money on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end customers, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domains, so this is a flourishing business niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain is composed of two 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 Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most conventional domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains comprise two-letter abbreviations that signify 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 TLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and sets the preconditions that each concrete top-level domain name may include, such as the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain name resource records.

Make Cash From Reselling Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make money from offering domains to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can build your very own personal Internet business. As a rule, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more people in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will have a web space hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the different TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoicing software and web site themes for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire process together with the great demand for domain names render the domain name reseller business so attractive. You will either receive a pre-built site and utilize the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own personal website and order form. Normally, you have the option to choose between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your own personal brand and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Revenue From Offering Hosting Plans Too

A relevant supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to people who would like to have their website and need both a domain and a hosting package. A few corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoice software to bill your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared hosting plans to clients, and since they offer many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to clients from all around the world.
