Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing system that furnishes new opportunities to earn cash on the Internet. One of them is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end customers, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is a thriving marketing niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name is composed of 2 constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most common domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs consist of two-letter abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and sets the requirements that each particular top-level domain name may impose, among them the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar firms work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain name records.

Earn Cash From Offering Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn profit from offering domain names to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can kick off your own electronic business. As a rule, a domain name 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 cause is that resellers can reach more users in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Offer Domains Under Your Own Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a site hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide invoice software and web page templates for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire process combined with the expanding demand for domain names make the domain reseller business so tempting. You will either have a ready-made 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 make your very own personal web page and order form. Typically, you have the option to decide between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how practiced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your very own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Cash From Trading Web Page Hosting Services Too

A sensible supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to people who would like to manage their web site and require both a domain name and a web site hosting package. Particular corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoicing software to bill your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared hosting packages to customers, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to people from all around the globe.
