When you buy a website hosting server with the idea to start your very own hosting company and to resell plans to various other people, you may as well need to sell domains, in order to give your clients the chance to purchase everything they need for their new site from one place. To be a certified registrar involves thousands of dollars and a lot of documentation, so the simplest solution would be to register for a domain name reseller account with a current registrar company. Your reseller website will be connected to that account by using the registrar's API. Using this kind of account has a number of pros - all your customers will be able to purchase and to take care of new domains with ease; the price for a new registration is lower as compared to what you would have to spend as an end customer; last but not least you'll be able to start reselling without delay. The registrar companies which supply domain reseller accounts usually need an amount of money as a deposit.
