Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing platform that offers new ways to make money online. One of these ways is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end users, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of presently active domain names, so this is a blooming marketing niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the best known domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names involve two-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic TLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that manages the registrations and determines the requirements that each specific Top-Level Domain may impose, such as the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to customers and handle all domain name resource records.

Earn Revenue From Offering Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to gain money from selling domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can begin your very own web business. Normally, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can contact more persons in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Brand

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will have a web space hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide invoicing transaction software and templates for your web shop, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the expanding demand for domains render the domain name reseller business niche so alluring. You will either get a ready-to-use web site and make use of the Registrar system to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own web page and order form. Traditionally, you have the option to select between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will do business on behalf of your own brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Revenue From Supplying Web Page Hosting Plans As Well

A nice addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thus, you can give a package deal to individuals who want to make their online portal and demand both a domain and a site hosting package. A few firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing software to bill your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared website hosting packages to clients, and since they provide many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all over the globe.
