If you obtain a website hosting server with the purpose to start your individual hosting company and to resell packages to various people, you may as well wish to sell domains, to give your customers the chance to get everything they need for their new site from a single place. To become a licensed registrar involves thousands of dollars plus a considerable amount of documentation, so the simplest solution would be to sign up for a domain name reseller account with a pre-existing registrar company. Your reseller Internet site will be connected to that account through the registrar's API. Employing such an account has a variety of pros - all of your customers can purchase and to take care of new website names without difficulty; the cost of a brand new registration will be lower compared to what you'd have to spend as an end customer; and you'll be able to start reselling at once. The registrar companies that provide domain reseller accounts almost always require a certain amount of money as a deposit.
