If you get a web hosting server with the idea to start your personal web hosting company and to resell plans to other people, you may as well want to sell domains, in order to give your customers the chance to acquire everything they need for their new site from one place. Being a licensed registrar involves thousands of dollars as well as a lot of documentation, so the simplest solution would be to sign up for a domain reseller account with a pre-existing registrar company. Your reseller Internet site will be connected to that account through the registrar's API. Using this type of account has a variety of benefits - all of your customers will be able to get and to control new website names without any difficulty; the price for a brand new registration is lower when compared to what you'd have to spend as an end customer; also you can start reselling at once. The registrar companies that sell domain reseller accounts generally require an amount of money as a deposit.
