Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing network that supplies new ways to gain cash on the Web. One of these ways is to become a domain reseller and sell domains to end clients, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently active domain names, so this is an enlarging business niche that you can be involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain includes two pieces - a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most famous domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains consist of 2-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains 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 Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each particular top-level domain name may contain, such as the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to customers and manage all domain records.

Make Profit From Selling Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain profit from offering domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can commence your own personal Internet business. As a rule, a domain name will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can reach more users in regional districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Sell TLDs On Behalf Of Your Very Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will receive a webspace hosting CP where you can fix the prices for the various TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoice management software and web design layouts for your web store, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the immense demand for domain names make the domain name reseller market niche so alluring. You will either receive a ready-to-use 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 set up your very own web portal and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the opportunity to pick between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how proficient you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will work under your own personal brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Profit From Reselling Web Site Hosting Services Too

A nice addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to individuals who wish to create their web page and demand both a domain and a web page hosting plan. Given companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing software to bill your customers. You can then offer TLDs and shared web hosting packages to clients, and since they provide many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to persons from all around the world.
