Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-developing network that furnishes new ways to make money on the Web. One of these options is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end customers, generating revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered every day, and there are millions of presently active domains, so this is a growing business niche that you can become a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

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

gTLDs and ccTLDs

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic top-level domain names include the most popular domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code Top-Level Domains contain 2-character abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and sets the requirements that each given TLD may impose, like the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain records.

Earn Revenue From Offering Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn revenue from selling domain names to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can start your very own personal web business. Normally, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is obtained directly from the Registrar by an end user. The reason is that resellers can reach more users in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit 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.

Offer Domains Under Your Own Trademark Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will receive a web page hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer billing management software and web page templates for your online store, and the automation of the entire process combined with the huge demand for domain names make the domain reseller market so tempting. You will either obtain a turn-key website and use the Registrar system 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 portal and order form. Typically, you have the opportunity to pick between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how skilled you are in these matters. As a domain name reseller, you will work on behalf of your own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Earn Revenue From Providing Hosting Solutions As Well

An adequate supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thus, you can give a package deal to people who desire to run their web portal and demand both a domain name and a website hosting account. Given firms supply such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-cost invoicing software to charge your clients. You can then offer TLDs and shared website hosting plans to customers, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all over the world.
