When you acquire a website hosting server with the purpose to start your own website hosting company and to resell plans to various other people, you may as well wish to sell domain names, to give your customers the option to purchase everything they want for their new Internet site from a single place. Being a certified registrar involves thousands of dollars and tons of documentation, so the most effective solution would be to sign up for a domain reseller account with a pre-existing registrar company. Your reseller Internet site will be linked to that account by using the registrar's API. Using this type of account has more than a few pros - your customers will be able to buy and to take care of new website names without any difficulty; the price for a new registration will be lower as compared to what you'd have to pay as an end customer; also you're able to start reselling instantly. The registrar businesses which offer domain reseller accounts generally require some money as a deposit.
