When you acquire a server with the intent to start your individual web hosting company and to resell packages to other people, you may as well want to sell domains, in order to give your customers the opportunity to purchase everything they need for their new Internet site from one place. To be an accredited registrar involves thousands of dollars plus a considerable amount of documentation, so the easiest solution is to sign up for a domain name reseller account with an existing registrar company. Your reseller Internet site will be connected to that account by using the registrar's API. To use this kind of account has a number of advantages - all your customers can get and to manage new domains without difficulty; the price for a new registration is lower as compared to what you would have to pay as an end customer; what's more you can start reselling right away. The registrar companies that offer domain reseller accounts almost always require an amount of money as a deposit.
