Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing system that offers new ways to gain money online. One of them is to become a domain reseller and offer domain names to end users, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are millions of currently active domain names, so this is a flourishing business niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

A domain name comprises two parts - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (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 gTLDs include the best known domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names involve two-character abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each specific top-level domain name may entail, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain records.

Gain Cash From Reselling Domains

Lots of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to earn revenue from offering domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can launch your very own personal Internet business. Normally, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can reach more customers in areas or states where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will earn a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Resell Top-Level Domains Under Your Very Own Personal Brand

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will receive a web page hosting Control Panel where you can settle the prices for the various top-level domain names that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide billing management software and web skins for your virtual shop, and the automation of the entire process together with the flourishing demand for domain names make the domain name reseller business niche so desirable. You will either get a ready-to-use website and use the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can create your very own web page and order form. Typically, you have the option to select between the two options, so it all revolves around how skillful you are in these things. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your very own personal brand and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Cash From Selling Webspace Hosting Packages Too

A suitable supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. In this way, you can give a package deal to clients who want to manage their website and require both a domain and a website hosting plan. A few corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can have a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and charge-free invoicing software to bill your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared hosting packages to clients, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to clients from all around the world.
