Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing community that furnishes new possibilities to earn money online. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end customers, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is an increasing marketing niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain comprises two components - 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 name and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most widespread domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs consist 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 TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each specific top-level domain name may impose, such as the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to customers and handle all domain name records.

Gain Revenue From Selling Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn money from selling domains to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can set up your very own Internet business. Commonly, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can reach more users in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Trade Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Trademark Name

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will receive a web hosting CP where you can select the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide invoice management software and web page templates for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire procedure combined with the large demand for domain names make the domain reseller industry so attractive. You will either get a ready-to-use site and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own personal portal and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the opportunity to choose between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Earn Money From Trading Web Space Hosting Accounts As Well

A relevant supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to customers who wish to establish their web site and require both a domain name and a webspace hosting account. Some corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoicing transaction software to bill your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the globe.
