Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding community that offers new opportunities to gain money on the Internet. One of these options is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end users, gaining 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 currently active domains, so this is a flowering business niche that you can become engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain comprises 2 entities - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most common domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs consist of 2-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each particular TLD may contain, including the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain name resource records.

Earn Revenue From Trading Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make cash from offering domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your own e-business. Typically, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more people in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from 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 Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will get a website hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer billing software and design skins for your web store, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the strong demand for domain names make the domain reseller market niche so tempting. You will either get a ready-for-use site and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own portal and order form. Usually, you have the option to select between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your very own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Profit From Reselling Website Hosting Solutions Too

An appropriate addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to clients who wish to create their web site and require both a domain and a website hosting account. Particular companies furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can have a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free invoicing software to bill your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared hosting plans to customers, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to people from all over the world.
