Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing system that provides new possibilities to gain cash online. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, generating 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 millions of presently active domain names, so this is a thriving marketing niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

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 ccTLDs are made of two-character abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each given TLD may entail, among them the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain name resource records.

Gain Revenue From Trading Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to gain revenue from offering domains to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can launch your own online business. As a rule, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more customers in local regions or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Sell TLDs Under Your Very Own Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will receive a website hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer invoice management software and web design layouts for your web store, and the automation of the whole process together with the rising demand for domain names render the domain reseller market so alluring. You will either have a pre-built web site and use the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal web site and order form. Generally, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will work under your own brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Cash From Promoting Site Hosting Accounts Too

An appropriate addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thus, you can give a package deal to persons who wish to manage their web site and require both a domain name and a hosting plan. A few companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and charge-free billing software to bill your customers. You can then sell TLDs and shared website hosting packages 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 over the globe.
