If you acquire a web hosting server with the intention to start your own hosting company and to resell plans to various other people, you may also want to sell domain names, to give your clients the option to purchase everything they need for their new website from just a single place. Being a licensed registrar involves thousands of dollars plus a lot of documentation, so the simplest solution is to register for a domain reseller account with a current registrar company. Your reseller Internet site will be connected to that account via the registrar's API. Using this kind of account has a variety of pros - all your customers will be able to purchase and to take care of new domain names effortlessly; the price for a brand new registration is lower when compared to what you would need to spend as an end customer; also you can start reselling without delay. The registrar companies which sell domain reseller accounts generally need some money as a deposit.
