Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-developing platform that provides new options to earn cash online. One of these ways is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end clients, gaining revenue from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered each and every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is a blooming business niche that you can become involved in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain includes two entities - a top-level domain name (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 SLD.

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The TLDs can be generic or country code. The generic Top-Level Domains include the most widely used domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the ccTLDs are composed of 2-character abbreviations that denote each country. Instances of country-code Top-Level Domains are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each top-level domain name, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code Top-Level Domain, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and determines the requirements that each specific top-level domain name may contain, including the length of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar corporations work under the Registry. These are the companies that actually sell the domain name to customers and handle all domain resource records.

Make Revenue From Reselling Domains

A lot of Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to make revenue from offering domains to end customers. If you register with such a program, you can set up your own personal electronic business. Commonly, a domain will be more inexpensive if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is purchased directly from the Registrar by an end customer. The cause is that resellers can contact more clients in local regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous at all. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both parties will profit from that. Your profit will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar levies for the domain registration.

Trade TLDs Under Your Own Personal Brand Name

When you sign up for a domain reseller program, you will get a Control Panel where you can fix the prices for the individual TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also offer invoicing transaction software and web design templates for your online shop, and the automation of the entire process together with the strong demand for domains make the domain reseller industry so attractive. You will either have a ready-to-use site and make use 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 own personal portal and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to pick between the 2 alternatives, so it all depends on how accomplished you are in these affairs. As a domain reseller, you will work on behalf of your own brand name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Gain Money From Providing Hosting Services Too

An adequate supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. Thus, you can offer a package deal to users who want to create their site and need both a domain and a webspace hosting account. Given corporations have such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for instance, you can buy a VPS or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain name reseller account and free-of-charge invoice transaction software to bill your clients. You can then sell domain names and shared web hosting packages to clients, and since they offer lots of different domain extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to individuals from all around the globe.
