Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging platform that furnishes new options to earn money online. One of these options is to become a domain reseller and sell domain names to end users, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is a growing marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most famous domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names are made of two-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples 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 TLD, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each particular Top-Level Domain may entail, among them the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to customers and administer all DNS resource records.

Make Profit From Selling Domains

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make money from selling domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kick off your own Internet business. Normally, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can reach more persons in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Trade Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will have a hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most firms also offer invoicing software and skins for your online store, and the automation of the whole procedure combined with the enormous demand for domain names make the domain reseller market so alluring. You will either receive a ready-to-use site and use the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal web page and form for placing orders. Commonly, you have the option to choose between the two options, so it all revolves around how trained you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will do business on behalf of your own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Profit From Reselling Web Hosting Plans Too

A good addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to people who wish to develop their web site and demand both a domain name and a site hosting account. Particular companies supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoicing software to bill your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to clients from all around the world.
