Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding platform that supplies new ways to gain money on the Internet. One of these ways is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end customers, gaining profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every 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 engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain contains two pieces - 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 and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most famous domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names are made of 2-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of ccTLDs 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 organization that tackles the registrations and determines the requirements that each given top-level domain name may involve, like the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually offer the domain name to customers and administer all DNS records.

Earn Profit From Selling Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make revenue from offering domains to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can commence your very own online 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 explanation is that resellers can reach more clients in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domains Under Your Own Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will receive a website hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the specific TLDs that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide invoice management software and web skins for your online storefront, and the automation of the whole process combined with the towering demand for domain names make the domain reseller business so attractive. You will either get a turn-key site and utilize the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own personal web page and order form. Typically, you have the opportunity to pick between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how trained you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your personal brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Money From Supplying Website Hosting Packages Too

A logical addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to users who desire to build their online portal and demand both a domain and a website hosting account. A few firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoice software to bill your clients. You can then offer Top-Level Domains and shared hosting plans to clients, and since they offer plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to customers from all over the globe.
