Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing platform that provides new ways to make cash online. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is an enlarging marketing niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain comprises two entities - 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 and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most famous domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names contain 2-character abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each given Top-Level Domain may include, including the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all DNS records.

Earn Profit From Offering Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to make profit from offering domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can launch your own e-business. Typically, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can contact more individuals in local communities or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain name registration.

Sell Domains On Behalf Of Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will receive a web hosting CP where you can select the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer billing management software and web site layouts for your virtual store, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the flourishing demand for domain names render the domain name reseller industry so seductive. You will either get a turn-key website and use the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own personal portal and order form. Generally, you have the option to decide between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how trained you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will do business on behalf of your personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Make Money From Promoting Web Space Hosting Services As Well

A suitable supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to clients who want to develop their online portal and require both a domain and a web hosting plan. Given corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoicing software to charge your clients. You can then offer top-level domain names and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they provide many diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to customers from all around the world.
