If you purchase a website hosting server with the idea to start your own web hosting company and to resell packages to various other people, you may also want to sell domain names, to give your customers the chance to buy everything they need for their new website from just a single place. Becoming a licensed registrar involves thousands of dollars as well as tons of documentation, so the simplest solution would be to register for a domain name reseller account with an existing registrar company. Your reseller Internet site will be linked to that account via the registrar's API. To use this type of account has numerous advantages - all your customers can acquire and to take care of new website names with ease; the cost of a brand new registration is lower compared to what you'd have to pay as an end customer; what's more you can start reselling without delay. The registrar businesses which supply domain reseller accounts in most cases want an amount of money as a deposit.
