If you acquire a hosting server with the intent to start your individual hosting company and to resell packages to various other people, you may as well wish to sell domains, so that you can give your clients the opportunity to obtain everything they want for their new website from just a single place. Being an accredited registrar involves thousands of dollars as well as tons of documentation, so the most effective solution is to sign up for a domain name reseller account with an existing registrar company. Your reseller website will be linked to that account by using the registrar's API. To use this kind of account has a lot of pros - all your customers will be able to acquire and to control new website names with ease; the price for a new registration will be lower as compared to what you would need to pay as an end customer; and you're able to start reselling instantly. The registrar businesses that offer domain reseller accounts often want a certain amount of money as a deposit.
