Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing community that offers new options to gain money online. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end customers, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domains, so this is a thriving business niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain comprises 2 pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names comprise the most popular domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs include 2-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and determines the preconditions that each specific top-level domain name may entail, among them the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and administer all DNS records.

Gain Revenue From Offering Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to gain cash from offering domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can start your very own personal web business. As a rule, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can contact more customers in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies 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 charges for the domain registration.

Sell Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will acquire a site hosting CP where you can select the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer invoicing transaction software and website templates for your web storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the enlarging demand for domains render the domain name reseller industry so attractive. You will either get a turn-key web site and utilize the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own web portal and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to decide between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Profit From Trading Web Page Hosting Services Too

A logical supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to customers who want to build their web site and require both a domain name and a web page hosting package. A number of corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge billing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared website hosting packages to clients, and since they provide many diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to clients from all around the world.
