If you buy a website hosting server with the idea to start your very own website hosting company and to resell plans to various people, you may also wish to sell domains, so as to give your clients the chance to obtain everything they want for their new site from just a single place. Becoming a licensed registrar involves thousands of dollars along with a considerable amount of documentation, so the most convenient solution is to register for a domain name reseller account with a current registrar company. Your reseller site will be connected to that account via the registrar's API. Using this type of account has a variety of benefits - all your customers are able to buy and to take care of new domain names effortlessly; the price of a new registration will be lower when compared to what you would need to pay as an end customer; and you're able to start reselling without delay. The registrar businesses that sell domain reseller accounts usually want some money as a deposit.
