Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing system that provides new ways to gain cash online. One of these options is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end customers, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of presently active domain names, so this is an expanding business niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain involves two pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most conventional domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs are made of 2-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that handles the registrations and sets the requirements that each given top-level domain name may contain, such as the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and manage all domain resource records.

Gain Profit From Reselling Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain profit from offering domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can initiate your very own Internet business. Generally, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can reach more individuals in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Offer TLDs On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will get a site hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide billing software and design themes for your web shop, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the flourishing demand for domains render the domain name reseller business so attractive. You will either have a ready-to-use site and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal website and order form. Traditionally, you have the option to select between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will sell under your very own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Money From Providing Web Page Hosting Plans Too

A relevant addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thus, you can give a package deal to persons who would like to develop their web page and need both a domain and a website hosting package. A number of corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge billing management software to charge your clients. You can then sell TLDs and shared web hosting packages to customers, and since they provide many diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to clients from all around the world.
