Domain name reseller

The World Wide Web is an ever-growing network that supplies new ways to make cash online. One of these ways is to become a domain reseller and sell domains to end customers, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail cost of each domain name. Thousands of domain names are registered every day, and there are millions of currently functioning domain names, so this is a growing marketing niche that you can be a part of.

TLDs and SLDs

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

Generic and Country-Code Top-Level Domain Names

The top-level domain names can be generic or country code. The gTLDs include the most widely used domain extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, whereas the country-code top-level domain names are made of 2-character abbreviations that signify each country. Examples 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 one, has a Registry - an institution that administers the registrations and determines the requirements that each given Top-Level Domain may involve, like the length of the registration term or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar companies operate under the Registry. These are the companies that in fact offer the domain name to clients and administer all DNS records.

Gain Cash From Trading Domains

Numerous Registrars have reseller programs that allow individuals to earn cash from selling domains to end clients. If you register with such a program, you can establish your own e-business. Typically, a domain name will be cheaper if it is registered through a reseller rather than if it is bought directly from the Registrar by an end client. The explanation is that resellers can contact more users in local districts or countries where the Registrar may not be popular whatsoever. This implies more sales for the Registrar, so both sides 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 Top-Level Domain Names On Behalf Of Your Personal Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will get a CP where you can fix the prices for the different top-level domain names that the Registrar offers. Most corporations also provide invoicing software and website layouts for your online store, and the automation of the entire process coupled with the big demand for domains render the domain name reseller market so desirable. You will either receive a ready-for-use site and make use of the Registrar system to resell domain names, or they will offer you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your own personal website and order form. Usually, you have the opportunity to select between the two alternatives, so it all depends on how expert you are in these things. As a domain reseller, you will do business under your very own personal trademark name and not under the Registrar's brand.

Earn Revenue From Providing Web Hosting Services As Well

An appropriate addition to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting services as well. Thereby, you can offer a package deal to customers who wish to build their online portal and require both a domain name and a site hosting account. A few corporations have 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 cost-free invoicing transaction software to charge your customers. You can then sell domains and shared web hosting accounts to customers, and since they provide a lot of different domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain name and hosting services to people from all around the globe.
