Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing network that delivers new opportunities to make money on the Internet. One of these opportunities is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end clients, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is an increasing business niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most widely used domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs include two-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete TLD may have, including the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain records.

Make Cash From Reselling Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to earn cash from selling domains to end users. If you register with such a program, you can start your very own online business. Regularly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can contact more people in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Very Own Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will acquire a web site hosting Control Panel where you can select the prices for the separate TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer invoice software and website themes for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the large demand for domain names render the domain reseller business so tempting. You will either have a pre-made site and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own web portal and order form. Generally, you have the opportunity to decide between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Profit From Reselling Hosting Accounts Too

A relevant supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to users who desire to make their online portal and require both a domain name and a web hosting plan. A few companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free invoice management software to bill your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to people from all over the globe.
