Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-flourishing community that supplies new ways to earn cash online. One of these options is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end clients, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of currently functioning domains, so this is a flourishing marketing niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain is composed of two components - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain and "domain" is the SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most widespread domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs contain 2-character abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of country-code TLDs 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 determines the prerequisites that each concrete TLD may include, including the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to clients and administer all domain name records.

Earn Money From Offering Domain Names

Plenty of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to gain cash from selling domain names to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can establish your own electronic business. Usually, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end client. The reason is that resellers can reach more customers in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Trade TLDs Under Your Own Personal Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will get a web page hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide billing management software and site layouts for your online shop, and the automation of the entire process combined with the immense demand for domain names make the domain reseller business niche so alluring. You will either obtain a ready-to-use web site and use the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own website and order form. Usually, you have the opportunity to choose between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how accomplished you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will operate under your very own personal trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Money From Offering Site Hosting Packages As Well

A relevant addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to customers who want to have their site and require both a domain and a web page hosting package. Some corporations furnish such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can order a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free billing software to bill your customers. You can then sell domain names and shared hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to individuals from all over the world.
