Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing platform that delivers new options to make cash online. One of these opportunities is to be a domain reseller and sell domains to end clients, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of currently active domains, so this is an enlarging trading niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

A domain name contains 2 pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the top-level domain name and "domain" is the second-level domain name.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most famous domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs include 2-character abbreviations that stand for each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that is responsible for the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each given Top-Level Domain may contain, among them the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to clients and handle all domain name records.

Earn Cash From Selling Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that allow people to gain cash from selling domain names to end users. If you subscribe to such a program, you can establish your own personal online business. Generally, 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 customer. The explanation is that resellers can reach more people in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will capitalize on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar charges for the domain registration.

Sell TLDs Under Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will receive a webspace hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the specific top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoicing transaction software and design layouts for your online shop, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the big demand for domains make the domain name reseller market niche so alluring. You will either acquire a ready-made site and avail of the Registrar platform to sell domains, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your own website and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to pick between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will operate under your very own brand and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Cash From Trading Web Space Hosting Solutions Too

An appropriate supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to users who wish to develop their web portal and need both a domain name and a web page hosting account. Certain corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free billing software to charge your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to customers from all over the globe.
