Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing system that provides new options to earn money on the Internet. One of these options is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end customers, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost 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 a blooming trading niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain involves 2 constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most conventional domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs comprise two-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and determines the preconditions that each particular TLD may include, including the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and administer all DNS records.

Gain Profit From Reselling Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn money from offering domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can start your very own Internet business. Typically, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more customers in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides 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 name registration.

Resell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web space hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer billing software and design layouts for your web store, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the expanding demand for domain names make the domain reseller market niche so tempting. You will either acquire a pre-developed site and avail of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal web portal and order form. Generally, you have the option to decide between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how accomplished you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your own brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Profit From Supplying Web Hosting Packages Too

A logical addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to customers who want to make their online portal and need both a domain and a webspace hosting package. Some companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing software to bill your customers. You can then sell TLDs and shared hosting packages to clients, and since they offer plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to people from all around the globe.
