If you purchase a web hosting server with the intent to start your own website hosting company and to resell plans to various people, you may as well wish to sell domains, in order to give your customers the opportunity to acquire everything they need for their new Internet site from just a single place. Becoming an accredited 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 a pre-existing registrar company. Your reseller website will be linked to that account by using the registrar's API. Using this type of account has a large number of advantages - all your customers will be able to purchase and to take care of new website names effortlessly; the price for a new registration is lower as compared to what you would have to spend as an end customer; what's more you're able to start reselling immediately. The registrar companies that provide domain reseller accounts almost always ask for an amount of money as a deposit.
