Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing system that offers new possibilities to make cash on the Web. One of these possibilities is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end customers, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is a flourishing business niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain is made of two constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most common domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains include 2-character abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and determines the requirements that each given TLD may contain, like the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to customers and handle all domain name records.

Make Money From Reselling Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make cash from selling domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can initiate your very own electronic business. Typically, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more clients in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will receive a web page hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoice management software and web templates for your web store, and the automation of the entire process combined with the proliferating demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business niche so desirable. You will either have a pre-developed site and avail of the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own personal online portal and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the option to pick between the two options, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Cash From Reselling Site Hosting Plans Too

An excellent supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to persons who would like to run their web portal and demand both a domain name and a web space hosting plan. Some corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoice management software to bill your clients. You can then offer domain names and shared website hosting packages to customers, and since they provide lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the world.
