Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-flourishing network that furnishes new options to make money online. One of these options is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end customers, earning revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently functioning domains, so this is a flowering marketing niche that you can be involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most popular domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains contain two-character abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic TLD or a country-code one, has a Registry - an institution that deals with the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each specific top-level domain name may involve, such as the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that actually sell the domain name to customers and manage all domain name records.

Earn Money From Offering Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that permit individuals to earn money from selling domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can launch your very own personal e-business. Regularly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more clients in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will make a profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar requires for the domain registration.

Resell Domains On Behalf Of Your Own Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will have a site hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also provide invoicing transaction software and web layouts for your web shop, and the automation of the whole process combined with the enormous demand for domains render the domain name reseller business niche so seductive. You will either obtain a ready-for-use site and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own online portal and form for placing orders. Traditionally, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how proficient you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will sell on behalf of your own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Gain Cash From Selling Hosting Solutions Too

A perfect addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can offer a package deal to people who want to have their online portal and require both a domain name and a hosting account. Particular firms have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can manage a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoicing software to charge your clients. You can then sell domain names and shared hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer lots of different domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain name and hosting services to people from all over the globe.
