When you buy a server with the intention to start your own website hosting company and to resell plans to other people, you may as well need to sell domain names, so that you can give your clients the chance to buy everything they need for their new Internet site from a single place. Becoming a certified registrar involves thousands of dollars and a considerable amount of documentation, so the easiest solution is to register for a domain reseller account with an existing registrar company. Your reseller site will be connected to that account via the registrar's API. To use this type of account has more than a few pros - your customers are able to obtain and to take care of new domain names effortlessly; the price of a brand new registration will be lower as compared to what you would have to pay as an end customer; what's more you're able to start reselling without delay. The registrar companies which sell domain reseller accounts often require a certain amount of money as a deposit.
