Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing community that offers new options to earn cash on the Web. One of these ways is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is a blooming trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain involves two pieces - a Top-Level Domain (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 second-level domain name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most famous domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs are composed of 2-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each given top-level domain name may have, including the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain resource records.

Make Cash From Reselling Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make money from selling domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can establish your very own electronic business. Regularly, 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 user. The cause is that resellers can reach more clients in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains Under Your Own Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a web space hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer billing management software and web page templates for your online storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the enlarging demand for domains make the domain name reseller market niche so desirable. You will either have a ready-to-use site and avail of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal online portal and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the option to decide between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how skillful you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your very own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Profit From Supplying Webspace Hosting Accounts Too

A logical addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to customers who want to have their site and need both a domain and a site hosting package. A number of corporations supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free billing software to bill your customers. You can then sell TLDs and shared website hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer a lot of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all over the world.
