Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding community that provides new ways to gain money online. One of these opportunities is to become a domain name reseller and sell domains to end customers, making revenue 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 currently active domain names, so this is a blooming marketing niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most famous domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code TLDs involve 2-character abbreviations that signify each country. Instances of country-code TLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a ccTLD, has a Registry - an organization that administers the registrations and determines the requirements that each particular Top-Level Domain may have, like the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the firms that actually offer the domain name to customers and administer all domain name resource records.

Earn Revenue From Offering Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make revenue from selling domain names to end users. If you register with such a program, you can build your own personal e-business. Generally, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The cause is that resellers can contact more individuals in regional districts or states where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will take advantage of that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain name registration.

Resell Domains Under Your Own Personal Brand Name

When you subscribe to a domain name reseller program, you will acquire a webspace hosting CP where you can settle the prices for the specific Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also provide invoice management software and web design layouts for your web shop, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the large demand for domain names render the domain name reseller industry so attractive. You will either get a pre-built web 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 make your own portal and order form. Commonly, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 options, so it all depends on how experienced you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your very own brand name and not on behalf of the Registrar's.

Gain Money From Providing Webspace Hosting Solutions Too

A sensible supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting packages as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to people who would like to establish their website and require both a domain and a site hosting plan. A few firms provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can purchase a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free invoicing transaction software to charge your clients. You can then sell Top-Level Domains and shared website hosting plans to clients, and since they provide many diverse domain extensions, you will be able to provide domain and hosting services to users from all over the world.
