Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing system that generates new possibilities to earn money on the Web. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end clients, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is a flourishing trading niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain contains 2 entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick 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 domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most popular domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs comprise two-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that manages the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given top-level domain name may impose, such as the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to clients and handle all DNS resource records.

Earn Cash From Trading Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to gain cash from selling domain names to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can initiate your very own e-business. Regularly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more clients in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Trade TLDs Under Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will have a web space hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide billing software and website themes for your virtual shop, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the flourishing demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market niche so tempting. You will either obtain a ready-made 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 create your own web page and order form. Normally, you have the option to select between the 2 options, so it all depends on how trained you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your very own brand and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Trading Hosting Packages As Well

A proper supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to people who would like to make their web page and demand both a domain and a web space hosting package. Given companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoicing software to charge your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they provide lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to people from all around the world.
