Reselling domains is becoming more and more common because everyone stands to make a lot of money on them. Reseller hosting plans allow individuals to register domain names and low prices and then resell them to their customers. The individual that initially registers the domain name will do so through a parent ICANN accredited registrar and when they resell the website the same registrar will still handle customer service and registration issues. The registrar is okay with the reselling of the domains because in the end this actually creates more business for them because the domain continues to be hosted and/or registered with the same company.

Choosing the right reseller program for you may take some research and thought because you may want to consider issues such as automation, price, scalability, and the overall flexibility you are allowed in getting set up as well as upgrades. The thing that one really needs to consider when reselling is how much they are able to register the domains for so that they can make a profit when they sell the domains. The competition between resellers is very intense right now, so the reseller hosting plan needs to be very affordable. Its not uncommon to see resellers sell their domain for less than $10, so one needs to be able to register the domain for less than that if they hope to make a profit.

You will also want to choose an ICANN accredited registrar to work with. Two of the most well known are Enom and Wild West Domains. The resellers that work with these two registrars are known for their great reputations and honest business practices, so they are definitely the companies to get into business with. If you are just starting out you want an honest site, because you will come across the registrars that say that they can register any domain name, which is not always true. ICANN registered registrars and resellers are always the best to deal with, otherwise you are putting yourself at a serious disadvantage.

Once you have found an accredited registrar you are ready to consider who can offer you all of the services that you need. You want a registrar that will offer you the flexibility that you need to get started. If you are just starting out, the more support you have, the better. You will also want to consider the upgrades and discounts you can receive in the future if you prove to be a great reseller. Reselling offers the ability to make a lot of money, and having the right registrar and hosting plan on your side can increase your profits.
