Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing system that delivers new opportunities to gain money on the Internet. One of these possibilities is to be a domain name reseller and offer domains to end customers, gaining profit 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 presently active domains, so this is a flourishing trading niche that you can become involved in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic TLDs comprise the most popular domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs include two-character abbreviations that signify each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given TLD may include, such as the length of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact offer the domain name to clients and manage all DNS records.

Earn Profit From Offering Domain Names

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make profit from offering domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kickstart your own online business. Generally, a domain will cost less if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can reach more individuals in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular at all. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will cash in on that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Resell TLDs Under Your Own Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will acquire a web space hosting CP where you can determine the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoicing transaction software and site templates for your virtual storefront, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the huge demand for domain names make the domain reseller business so desirable. You will either receive a pre-developed website and make use of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own web site and order form. Commonly, you have the option to pick between the two possibilities, so it all depends on how skillful you are in these issues. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your own trademark name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Profit From Supplying Hosting Solutions As Well

A perfect addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. In this way, you can give a package deal to persons who want to launch their web site and require both a domain and a hosting plan. A number of corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a Virtual Private Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoice software to bill your clients. You can then sell domain names and shared website hosting accounts to customers, and since they offer a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to customers from all over the world.
