Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding system that delivers new opportunities to make cash online. One of these opportunities is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end clients, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is a flowering trading niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain contains two entities - 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 and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most famous domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs include two-character abbreviations that represent 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 Top-Level Domain or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and determines the preconditions that each particular top-level domain name may entail, including the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all DNS resource records.

Earn Cash From Reselling Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make revenue from offering domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can set up your very own electronic business. Regularly, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly 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 profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Trade Domains On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will get a web site hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most firms also offer billing software and web skins for your online storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the large demand for domain names make the domain reseller business so alluring. You will either acquire a ready-for-use website and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own portal and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the option to choose between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how advanced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will sell on behalf of your personal brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Cash From Reselling Hosting Plans Too

A perfect supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. In this way, you can give a package deal to users who want to run their site and require both a domain and a web space hosting package. A few firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge billing transaction software to bill your customers. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting packages to clients, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
