Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging platform that offers new opportunities to earn money online. One of these options is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end users, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently active domains, so this is a blooming marketing niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most widely used domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs contain two-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code top-level domain name, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific top-level domain name may impose, among them the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain name records.

Make Cash From Offering Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn revenue from offering domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can set up your own web business. Regularly, a domain name will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end user. The explanation is that resellers can reach more clients in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Offer Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will obtain a hosting Control Panel where you can choose the prices for the different Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most firms also provide invoice transaction software and templates for your online storefront, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the proliferating demand for domain names render the domain name reseller market niche so alluring. You will either receive a ready-for-use web site and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will grant you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own website and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 options, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Profit From Offering Hosting Packages As Well

A good supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to clients who desire to create their online portal and need both a domain name and a webspace hosting package. Particular corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge invoice software to charge your clients. You can then sell domains and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer a lot of different domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to individuals from all over the globe.
