Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing platform that generates new options to gain money online. One of them is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end users, making revenue 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 active domain names, so this is a thriving trading niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain comprises two constituents - 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 Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most widely used domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs include 2-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and determines the requirements that each particular Top-Level Domain may contain, among them the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and manage all domain resource records.

Earn Cash From Selling Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn cash from selling domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can start your own personal Internet business. Commonly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can reach more people in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Trade Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a web site hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoice management software and web site templates for your online store, and the automation of the entire process combined with the enlarging demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market niche so seductive. You will either get a pre-made web site and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own personal portal and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the opportunity to choose between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your personal brand and not under the Registrar's.

Make Money From Reselling Web Space Hosting Plans Too

A perfect supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to users who wish to establish their web portal and require both a domain and a web page hosting plan. Given companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoicing software to charge your customers. You can then sell TLDs and shared website hosting packages to clients, and since they offer many different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to users from all over the globe.
