Domain reseller

The Internet is an ever-enlarging system that delivers new ways to gain money on the Web. One of them is to be a domain reseller and sell domain names to end clients, making profit from the difference between the wholesale and the retail price of each and every domain name. 1000's of domain names are registered every day, and there are 1 000 000's of presently active domains, so this is a growing marketing niche that you can be engaged in.

TLDs and SLDs

A domain comprises two parts - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If we pick domain.com, for example, ".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 generic top-level domain names include the most popular domain name extensions like .com, .net, .org, .mobi, .info, while the ccTLDs are made of two-letter abbreviations that symbolize each country. Instances of ccTLDs are .ca, .me, .fr, .es, and so on. Each TLD, whether it is a gTLD or a country-code TLD, has a Registry - an institution that manages the registrations and determines the requirements that each specific top-level domain name may include, like the duration of the registration period or the citizenship of the registrant. Certain Registrar firms operate under the Registry. These are the firms that in fact sell the domain name to clients and administer all domain name records.

Make Money From Selling Domains

Multiple Registrars have reseller programs that enable people to earn money from selling domain names to end users. If you sign up for such a program, you can initiate your own online business. As a rule, a domain will cost less if it is registered via a reseller rather than if it is bought straight from the Registrar by an end customer. The reason is that resellers can contact more users in regions or states where the Registrar may not be famous whatsoever. This means more sales for the Registrar, so both sides will benefit from that. Your revenue will be the difference between the price that the client pays and the one that the Registrar imposes for the domain name registration.

Resell Domain Names Under Your Own Brand Name

When you register with a domain reseller program, you will obtain a website hosting CP where you can set the prices for the different TLDs that the Registrar offers. Most companies also offer invoice transaction software and web page themes for your web store, and the automation of the whole process together with the flourishing demand for domains render the domain reseller business so desirable. You will either obtain a ready-for-use site and utilize the Registrar system to sell domains, or they will give you access to their API (Application Programming Interface) so that you can build your very own personal web portal and form for placing orders. Usually, you have the option to decide between the 2 possibilities, so it all depends on how practiced you are in these affairs. As a domain name reseller, you will do business on behalf of your very own personal brand name and not under the Registrar's.

Gain Cash From Offering Site Hosting Packages Too

A good supplement to your domain name reseller business would be to sell web hosting accounts too. In this way, you can offer a package deal to individuals who want to build their web page and require both a domain and a web page hosting account. Some corporations provide such options. With 'ResellersPanel', for example, you can purchase a Virtual Server or a dedicated server, and they will also offer you a domain reseller account and cost-free billing software to bill your clients. You can then sell domain names and shared web hosting accounts to clients, and since they provide a lot of diverse domain name extensions, you will be able to offer domain and hosting services to customers from all around the world.
