Domain name reseller

The Internet is an ever-increasing system that generates new opportunities to earn money online. One of these opportunities is to be a domain name reseller and sell domains to end clients, making revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each domain name. Thousands of domains are registered each day, and there are millions of presently functioning domain names, so this is a growing trading niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain name consists of 2 constituents - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we take domain.com, for example, ".com" is the TLD and "domain" is the Second-Level Domain.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domains

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The gTLDs comprise the most widely used domain extensions such as .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code Top-Level Domains consist of two-character abbreviations that denote each country. Examples of country-code Top-Level Domains 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 deals with the registrations and determines the preconditions that each concrete Top-Level Domain may entail, including the duration of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to customers and manage all domain name records.

Gain Money From Reselling Domain Names

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable individuals to earn profit from selling domain names to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can start your own electronic business. As a rule, a domain will be cheaper if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end user. The cause is that resellers can reach more users in areas or countries where the Registrar may not be known at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will capitalize on that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the user pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain registration.

Trade Top-Level Domains Under Your Personal Trademark Name

When you subscribe to a domain reseller program, you will have a website hosting CP where you can select the prices for the separate top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide invoice software and website templates for your virtual store, and the automation of the entire procedure coupled with the huge demand for domain names make the domain name reseller industry so seductive. You will either acquire a ready-to-use web site and use the Registrar platform to sell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can set up your own personal web site and order form. Usually, you have the opportunity to select between the 2 possibilities, so it all revolves around how expert you are in these issues. As a domain name reseller, you will operate on behalf of your own trademark name and not under the Registrar's.

Earn Profit From Promoting Site Hosting Solutions As Well

An adequate addition to your domain reseller business would be to sell web hosting solutions as well. Thus, you can give a package deal to users who would like to set up their web page and need both a domain and a web site hosting plan. Given companies offer such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can buy a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also give you a domain reseller account and free-of-charge billing transaction software to bill your clients. You can then offer domains and shared web hosting plans to customers, and since they provide a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to users from all over the world.
