Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging platform that supplies new options to make money on the Internet. One of these options is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end users, gaining revenue 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 developing business niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name contains 2 parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most conventional domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains are composed of two-character abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each concrete top-level domain name may include, including the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain resource records.

Make Cash From Offering Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make cash from offering domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can launch your own personal electronic business. Generally, a domain will be cheaper 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 reach more customers in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will make a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Sell Domain Names Under Your Own Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will have a web space hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide invoicing transaction software and design themes for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the expanding demand for domains render the domain name reseller business so alluring. You will either get a ready-for-use web site and avail of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own web page and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the option to pick between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your very own personal brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Money From Providing Site Hosting Plans Too

An appropriate addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to customers who want to make their website and demand both a domain name and a web space hosting plan. Some firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free billing management software to bill your clients. You can then sell domain names and shared website hosting packages to customers, and since they provide plenty of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to customers from all around the world.
