Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing platform that generates new options to make cash on the Internet. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end customers, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domains, so this is an increasing marketing niche that you can become a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name comprises 2 parts - 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 SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs include the most widespread domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains are composed of 2-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Examples of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and determines the preconditions that each specific Top-Level Domain may contain, like the duration 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 offer the domain name to customers and handle all domain resource records.

Make Cash From Reselling Domains

Many Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to make cash from offering domains to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can kick off your own personal Internet business. Regularly, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more clients in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain name registration.

Sell Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Own Brand

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will obtain a web hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the various Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide invoicing transaction software and website skins for your virtual shop, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the enlarging demand for domain names render the domain name reseller market so seductive. You will either obtain a turn-key website and utilize the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own personal website and form for placing orders. Typically, you have the option to decide between the two options, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will do business on behalf of your own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Profit From Selling Web Space Hosting Services As Well

A good supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting plans as well. Thereby, you can give a package deal to people who wish to establish their web site and need both a domain name and a web page hosting plan. Certain firms 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 name reseller account and free-of-cost invoice software to bill your customers. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared website hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to clients from all over the world.
