Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding network that supplies new opportunities to earn money on the Web. One of these possibilities is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end clients, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is a blooming business niche that you can become engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain is made of 2 components - a top-level domain name (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 SLD.

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most famous domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs contain 2-letter abbreviations that stand for 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 or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific TLD may impose, including the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to customers and administer all DNS resource records.

Make Revenue From Offering Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn money from offering domains to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can establish your very own personal online business. Regularly, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more persons in provinces or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will cash in on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domains Under Your Own Brand Name

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a web space hosting CP where you can select the prices for the individual top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most corporations also offer invoicing transaction software and site layouts for your web shop, and the automation of the entire process together with the expanding demand for domains render the domain name reseller business niche so tempting. You will either acquire a ready-made web site and utilize the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own web site and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to decide between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your own trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Money From Selling Web Hosting Services As Well

A reasonable addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thus, you can give a package deal to customers who desire to create their website and demand both a domain and a web space hosting account. A few corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoicing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell TLDs and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the globe.
