Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-increasing community that supplies new ways to gain cash on the Web. One of these ways is to become a domain name reseller and offer domains to end customers, earning 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 domains, so this is a flowering marketing niche that you can be a part of.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains

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

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains comprise the most widely used domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the country-code top-level domain names consist of two-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a generic Top-Level Domain or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that is responsible for the registrations and determines the prerequisites that each particular Top-Level Domain may include, including the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the firms that actually sell the domain name to clients and manage all domain name resource records.

Make Revenue From Offering Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to make revenue from offering domain names to end customers. If you sign up for such a program, you can start your own e-business. Commonly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The explanation is that resellers can reach more users in regional communities or countries where the Registrar may not be known whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the customer pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Offer TLDs On Behalf Of Your Very Own Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will obtain a web page hosting Control Panel where you can determine the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoice software and web design layouts for your online shop, and the automation of the entire process together with the flourishing demand for domains make the domain name reseller market so seductive. You will either obtain a pre-built website and avail of the Registrar platform to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your very own personal portal and form for placing orders. Generally, you have the opportunity to decide between the two options, so it all revolves around how experienced you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will sell under your personal brand and not under the Registrar's.

Make Revenue From Providing Web Space Hosting Services As Well

An excellent supplement to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting services too. Thereby, you can give a package deal to individuals who wish to make their web portal and require both a domain and a web page hosting account. Given companies provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can run a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free billing management software to charge your customers. You can then sell domain names and shared website hosting packages to clients, and since they offer lots of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to individuals from all around the world.
