Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing system that provides new options to make cash on the Web. One of them is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end clients, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of currently active domain names, so this is a growing marketing niche that you can become a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most conventional domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs comprise two-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and determines the preconditions that each specific TLD may have, like the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain name records.

Make Money From Selling Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to earn revenue from selling domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can start your own personal Internet business. Regularly, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more customers in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains Under Your Own Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will have a website hosting CP where you can select the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer invoice transaction software and design themes for your web store, and the automation of the whole process coupled with the high demand for domains render the domain name reseller business so seductive. You will either get a ready-for-use site and use the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own website and order form. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 options, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Reselling Web Hosting Accounts As Well

A relevant supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans too. In this way, you can give a package deal to persons who want to create their web portal and demand both a domain name and a site hosting package. Particular companies have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free invoice software to charge your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting packages to clients, and since they offer lots of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to people from all around the globe.
