Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-growing community that provides new opportunities to make cash online. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and offer domains to end users, generating 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 and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domain names, so this is a blossoming marketing niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name includes 2 constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). If we take domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most popular domain name extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs consist of two-letter abbreviations that stand for each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a generic top-level domain name or a country-code one, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and sets the requirements that each concrete top-level domain name may involve, such as the duration of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to customers and handle all DNS records.

Make Profit From Offering Domain Names

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that permit people to earn cash from offering domain names to end clients. If you subscribe to such a program, you can kick off your own web business. Typically, 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 user. The reason is that resellers can reach more individuals in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Sell Top-Level Domain Names Under Your Own Personal Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a webspace hosting CP where you can set the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoicing transaction software and web design skins for your online store, and the automation of the whole procedure coupled with the increasing demand for domains render the domain reseller market niche so alluring. You will either acquire a ready-to-use site and make use of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own website and order form. Generally, you have the opportunity to select between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how skillful you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your very own personal brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Reselling Website Hosting Accounts Too

A relevant addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions too. In this way, you can give a package deal to clients who desire to build their website and require both a domain and a site hosting package. Certain firms offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can run a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoicing software to charge your clients. You can then offer domain names and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide plenty of diverse domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to users from all around the globe.
