Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing platform that delivers new opportunities to earn money on the Internet. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end customers, earning profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is an enlarging trading niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain consists of 2 entities - 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 top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most conventional domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names comprise 2-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of ccTLDs 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 top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and sets the requirements that each given Top-Level Domain may entail, like the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to customers and administer all DNS resource records.

Earn Revenue From Offering Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to earn profit from offering domains to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can begin your very own web business. Regularly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more people in regions or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains Under Your Personal Brand

When you sign up for a domain name reseller program, you will get a webspace hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide invoice transaction software and web themes for your online shop, and the automation of the entire process combined with the considerable demand for domain names render the domain name reseller business so desirable. You will either get a ready-made web site and avail of the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own web site and form for placing orders. Normally, you have the option to decide between the two options, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your very own brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Money From Supplying Web Site Hosting Services Too

A relevant addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to clients who want to set up their web portal and require both a domain name and a webspace hosting plan. Certain companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free billing management software to charge your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide lots of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to individuals from all over the world.
