Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding system that delivers new options to gain money on the Web. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end customers, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is a growing business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain is composed of two parts - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most popular domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs are made of two-character abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and determines the preconditions that each specific top-level domain name may contain, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to clients and manage all domain name records.

Earn Revenue From Selling Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain revenue from selling domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can begin your very own personal Internet business. Usually, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more customers in regions or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies 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 charges for the domain name registration.

Offer Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will obtain a web page hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the different TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide billing software and site skins for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the rising demand for domain names render the domain reseller market niche so attractive. You will either have a ready-for-use website and utilize the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal site and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to pick between the two options, so it all depends on how proficient you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Providing Site Hosting Packages Too

A sensible addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to users who wish to manage their web page and need both a domain and a web space hosting account. Particular firms supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoice transaction software to charge your customers. You can then sell TLDs and shared web hosting packages to clients, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to customers from all over the globe.
