Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing system that offers new ways to earn money on the Web. One of these ways is to become 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 domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is a developing marketing niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain includes 2 constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".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 comprise the most popular domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs contain two-letter abbreviations that correspond to 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 gTLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each given top-level domain name may involve, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain resource records.

Earn Cash From Offering Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn revenue from selling domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can begin your very own Internet business. As a rule, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can reach more clients in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Sell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will get a CP where you can set the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide invoice transaction software and site themes for your online shop, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the growing demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business so tempting. You will either have a ready-for-use web site and avail of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal web page and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to pick between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Revenue From Promoting Hosting Packages As Well

A proper supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to customers who desire to launch their website and require both a domain name and a hosting package. A few corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoice software to charge your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting packages to clients, and since they offer a lot of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the globe.
