Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing network that supplies new possibilities to earn cash on the Internet. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end clients, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domains, so this is an enlarging business niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most widely used domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs are made of 2-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete TLD may impose, such as the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to customers and manage all domain records.

Make Cash From Reselling Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain profit from selling domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can begin your own personal electronic business. Normally, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more individuals in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Sell Domains Under Your Own Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will receive a web page hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide invoice software and web page layouts for your online store, and the automation of the entire process combined with the proliferating demand for domains make the domain name reseller business niche so tempting. You will either receive a ready-for-use site and use 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 very own personal website and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the option to pick between the two options, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will work under your personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Cash From Supplying Hosting Packages Too

A nice supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. In this way, you can give a package deal to individuals who want to launch their web page and demand both a domain and a web hosting account. Some corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free billing software to bill your clients. You can then sell TLDs and shared hosting plans to clients, and since they offer many different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to persons from all over the world.
