Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing system that generates new ways to make money on the Internet. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end customers, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domains, so this is an increasing business niche that you can become 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 pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most widely used domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names involve 2-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and determines the preconditions that each concrete Top-Level Domain may have, among them the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain name resource records.

Make Revenue From Reselling Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain money from selling domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your own web business. Usually, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can reach more people in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Resell TLDs On Behalf Of Your Own Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will receive a hosting CP where you can set the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide billing software and web themes for your online store, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the swelling demand for domain names render the domain reseller business so tempting. You will either acquire a pre-developed web site and make use of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal web page and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how accomplished you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your very own brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Revenue From Promoting Web Site Hosting Accounts Too

A logical addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to clients who desire to make their web page and require both a domain name and a webspace hosting plan. Given corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge billing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they offer a lot of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to individuals from all over the world.
