Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing platform that delivers new options to earn money on the Internet. One of these possibilities is to be a domain reseller and offer domain names to end customers, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is an increasing marketing niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain comprises two pieces - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most widespread domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs involve two-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and determines the requirements that each particular top-level domain name may entail, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all DNS records.

Earn Profit From Offering Domain Names

Many Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to gain profit from offering domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can set up your own personal web business. Commonly, a domain name will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more users in regions or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Sell Domains Under Your Own Brand

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will get a web site hosting Control Panel where you can set the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide invoice software and web page templates for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the high demand for domain names make the domain reseller market niche so attractive. You will either obtain a pre-made site and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own personal web page and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the option to pick between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will do business on behalf of your very own brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Money From Providing Site Hosting Packages Too

A reasonable addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to people who wish to run their web portal and demand both a domain and a webspace hosting account. A number of companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoice transaction software to charge your customers. You can then offer domain names and shared web hosting plans to customers, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to customers from all around the globe.
