Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging platform that delivers new possibilities to gain money on the Web. One of these opportunities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end users, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domains, so this is an expanding marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain is composed of 2 pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick 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 such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names involve 2-letter abbreviations that denote 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 TLD, has a Registry - an organization that manages the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete Top-Level Domain may include, like the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all DNS resource records.

Make Profit From Offering Domain Names

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain money from offering domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your own personal Internet business. As a rule, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can contact more people in regions or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Resell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will obtain a site hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer billing transaction software and web design themes for your online shop, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the flourishing demand for domains render the domain reseller market niche so tempting. You will either obtain a pre-developed website and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own web site and order form. Usually, you have the option to decide between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will operate under your own brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Providing Web Hosting Plans As Well

An adequate supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to persons who desire to create their online portal and require both a domain name and a webspace hosting plan. A few corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and charge-free billing management software to charge your customers. You can then offer domains and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they offer lots of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to people from all over the world.
