Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing platform that offers new opportunities to earn cash online. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently active domain names, so this is a flowering trading niche that you can become a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name comprises 2 parts - 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 TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains contain two-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete top-level domain name may have, among them the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually offer the domain name to customers and manage all DNS resource records.

Earn Revenue From Offering Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn money from selling domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can set up your own personal electronic business. Regularly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can reach more individuals in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Offer Domains On Behalf Of Your Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will receive a web site hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer invoice software and web templates for your web shop, and the automation of the entire process combined with the considerable demand for domains make the domain name reseller market niche so seductive. You will either receive a ready-made site and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own web site and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the option to select between the 2 options, so it all depends on how accomplished you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your very own personal brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Revenue From Promoting Website Hosting Packages As Well

A perfect supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to persons who want to establish their web site and need both a domain and a hosting package. A number of firms have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost billing software to charge your clients. You can then offer domains and shared website hosting packages to customers, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all over the globe.
