Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing community that furnishes new opportunities to gain cash on the Web. One of these possibilities is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end clients, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is a flowering marketing niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain is made of 2 entities - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (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 top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the best known domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs are made of two-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the preconditions that each specific TLD may entail, among them the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain resource records.

Make Revenue From Offering Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to gain revenue from selling domain names to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can set up your own personal web business. Regularly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can reach more customers in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of 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.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Personal Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will get a web site hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide invoice transaction software and web themes for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the whole process combined with the strong demand for domains render the domain reseller business niche so tempting. You will either obtain a ready-to-use web site and avail of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal web page and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how skillful you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your personal brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Revenue From Supplying Web Site Hosting Accounts As Well

A reasonable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. In this way, you can give a package deal to persons who wish to develop their web portal and need both a domain and a web site hosting plan. A few firms furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoice transaction software to charge your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared hosting plans to clients, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
