Domain reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-expanding community that offers new ways to gain money on the Internet. One of these options is to become a domain reseller and offer domains to end clients, generating profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each day, and there are millions of currently active domain names, so this is a blooming business niche that you can be engaged in.

Top-Level and Second-Level Domains Names

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

Generic and Country-Code TLDs

The Top-Level Domains can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the best known domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs consist of 2-letter abbreviations that correspond to each country. Instances of country-code top-level domain names are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each Top-Level Domain, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an organization that handles the registrations and determines the preconditions that each given top-level domain name may include, among them the length of the registration term or the residency of the registrant. A number of Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to customers and manage all domain name resource records.

Earn Money From Reselling Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to gain cash from selling domain names to end customers. If you subscribe to such a program, you can establish your own electronic business. Regularly, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can contact more users in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will make a profit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Offer Domain Names Under Your Own Personal Brand

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a website hosting CP where you can choose the prices for the individual Top-Level Domains that the Registrar provides. Most companies also offer invoicing software and web design layouts for your online store, and the automation of the whole procedure together with the rising demand for domain names render the domain reseller market niche so tempting. You will either have a pre-made site and utilize the Registrar system to resell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can make your own portal and order form. Traditionally, you have the option to choose between the two alternatives, so it all revolves around how advanced you are in these matters. As a domain reseller, you will do business on behalf of your own personal brand and not under the Registrar's brand.

Make Cash From Trading Site Hosting Accounts As Well

A suitable addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. In this way, you can offer a package deal to users who want to run their online portal and demand both a domain name and a website hosting plan. Particular corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can order a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain name reseller account and cost-free invoice management software to charge your clients. You can then sell domains and shared hosting packages to clients, and since they provide lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to individuals from all over the globe.
