Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing system that furnishes new ways to earn money online. One of these options is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end clients, 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 1 000 000's of presently functioning domain names, so this is a thriving trading niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain involves 2 constituents - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most conventional domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs consist of two-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific TLD may have, like the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to customers and administer all DNS records.

Gain Profit From Selling Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn money from selling domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can commence your very own web business. Usually, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more people in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies 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 customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Trade TLDs On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a Control Panel where you can set the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer billing software and themes for your virtual shop, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the strong demand for domain names make the domain reseller business so tempting. You will either acquire a pre-developed web site and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own website and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the opportunity to select between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your own personal brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Money From Offering Webspace Hosting Services Too

An adequate supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to persons who want to manage their web page and need both a domain and a web space hosting account. Particular firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing software to bill your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the globe.
