Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing platform that supplies new options to make cash on the Web. One of these possibilities is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end clients, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is an expanding marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain involves 2 pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD 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 gTLDs include the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains are composed of two-character abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific top-level domain name may have, among them the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to clients and administer all DNS records.

Make Profit From Offering Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make revenue from offering domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can establish your own personal online business. Normally, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can reach more people in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. 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 customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Trade Top-Level Domains Under Your Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will get a webspace hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer invoice transaction software and web page layouts for your web store, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the rising demand for domain names render the domain reseller industry so alluring. You will either get a pre-developed web site and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal web site and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the option to decide between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will work under your very own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Supplying Website Hosting Packages 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 persons who want to run their site and need both a domain name and a hosting package. Particular companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost billing management software to charge your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they provide plenty of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
