Domain reselling lets you sell domains to your clients under your own brand, using a partner's registrar systems. You do not need ICANN accreditation or registry connections. For web agencies and IT firms in India, it turns domains into steady yearly revenue.
This guide covers the business models, real margins, GST, tools and the mistakes to avoid.
| Model | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Referral | You refer clients and earn a fee | Freelancers testing the idea |
| Reseller account | You buy at partner prices and set your own prices | Agencies and IT firms |
| White-label with billing | Branded panel, your invoices, automated renewals | Hosting providers and larger agencies |
Margins per domain are small, often a few hundred rupees a year. The value comes from volume, renewals and bundles. For example, an agency with 300 client domains earning a modest margin on each has a steady renewal income with little extra work. Adding SSL, email and hosting raises value per client.
