When you buy a website hosting server with the purpose to start your personal website hosting company and to resell packages to various other people, you may as well want to sell domain names, to give your customers the chance to buy everything they want for their new Internet site from one place. Being a licensed registrar involves thousands of dollars plus a lot of documentation, so the simplest solution would be to sign up for a domain reseller account with an existing registrar company. Your reseller Internet site will be connected to that account via the registrar's API. To use this type of account has a number of benefits - all your customers are able to acquire and to control new website names without difficulty; the cost of a new registration will be lower compared to what you would have to pay as an end customer; last but not least you will be able to start reselling at once. The registrar businesses which sell domain reseller accounts in most cases require a certain amount of money as a deposit.
