Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing community that furnishes new opportunities to earn cash on the Internet. One of these ways is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end customers, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each and every day, and there are millions of currently active domain names, so this is a flowering marketing niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain comprises 2 components - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the best known domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs include 2-character abbreviations that represent 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 TLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and determines the requirements that each specific TLD may involve, such as the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to customers and handle all domain name resource records.

Make Money From Selling Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn money from offering domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can begin your own personal Internet business. Regularly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can reach more persons in areas or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will earn a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Resell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Brand

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will receive a web site hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide billing transaction software and web site skins for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the significant demand for domain names make the domain reseller market niche so alluring. You will either get a pre-developed web site and utilize the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own personal website and order form. Normally, you have the option to decide between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your very own personal brand and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Revenue From Supplying Hosting Plans As Well

A sensible addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to users who want to launch their website and need both a domain and a hosting plan. A number of firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and cost-free billing management software to bill your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to clients from all over the world.
