Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing community that generates new ways to gain money on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end customers, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is an enlarging marketing niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most conventional domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs comprise two-letter abbreviations that symbolize 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 or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that tackles the registrations and determines the requirements that each particular top-level domain name may entail, among them the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to customers and handle all domain name records.

Earn Cash From Offering Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain money from offering domains to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can launch your very own Internet business. Generally, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach 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 cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Offer Domains Under Your Very Own Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also provide invoice management software and templates for your web store, and the automation of the whole process combined with the large demand for domains render the domain reseller business niche so desirable. You will either receive a pre-developed website and avail 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 site and order form. Normally, you have the option to choose between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your very own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Money From Supplying Web Space Hosting Accounts As Well

An excellent addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thus, you can give a package deal to customers who want to have their web page and require both a domain name and a web space hosting package. Certain corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoice management software to charge your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared hosting plans to clients, and since they offer lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the globe.
