Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-expanding platform that offers new possibilities to make money on the Internet. One of them is to become a domain name reseller and sell domain names to end users, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. 1000's of domains are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of currently functioning domain names, so this is an expanding trading niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the best known domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains are made of 2-character abbreviations that symbolize each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a generic or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that tackles the registrations and sets the prerequisites that each specific Top-Level Domain may contain, among them the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the corporations that in fact offer the domain name to clients and handle all domain name resource records.

Make Profit From Reselling Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make revenue from selling domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can commence your very own personal Internet business. Normally, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased straight from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more clients in local districts or states where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies 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 charges for the domain registration.

Offer TLDs Under Your Personal Brand

When you register with a domain name reseller program, you will get a web hosting CP where you can select the prices for the separate Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most firms also provide invoicing transaction software and web layouts for your web shop, and the automation of the entire procedure together with the vast demand for domains make the domain reseller industry so tempting. You will either obtain a pre-developed site and use the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own web page and order form. Generally, you have the option to decide between the two possibilities, so it all revolves around how skilled you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will operate on behalf of your own brand and not on behalf of the Registrar's brand.

Make Money From Offering Web Site Hosting Accounts As Well

A good supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to clients who would like to set up their web site and require both a domain and a web site hosting plan. Particular corporations provide 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 free-of-cost billing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared hosting accounts to clients, and since they offer many diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to individuals from all over the world.
