Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing network that delivers new opportunities to make money online. One of these options is to be a domain name reseller and offer domain names to end clients, gaining 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 presently active domains, so this is a flourishing marketing niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the best known domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code TLDs are composed of two-letter abbreviations that represent each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that deals with the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each particular Top-Level Domain may involve, such as the duration of the registration period or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to customers and handle all domain resource records.

Make Cash From Offering Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain money from offering domains to end clients. If you sign up for such a program, you can kickstart your own Internet business. Commonly, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is obtained straight from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can reach more clients in local communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Offer Top-Level Domains On Behalf Of Your Very Own Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will receive a web space hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide invoice software and web design themes for your web shop, and the automation of the entire process together with the strong demand for domain names render the domain reseller business niche so tempting. You will either obtain a turn-key site and make use of the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your very own site and order form. Commonly, you have the opportunity to decide between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will work under your personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Make Money From Selling Hosting Packages Too

A sensible supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to people who want to create their web site and need both a domain name and a web site hosting account. Some corporations offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can manage a Virtual Dedicated Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and charge-free invoice software to bill your clients. You can then sell top-level domain names and shared web hosting plans to clients, and since they provide 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.
