Here are some ways...

1. Some control panels have this feature installed
2. Most billing applications with ordering functions have this feature. Also, many of the cart systems do too.
3. Many places like ENOM, SRS etc have APIs that you can custom code against. SOme may have the code written you just have to integrate.
4. Many billing software companies and some control panels have special deals with ENOM, WildWest, OpenSRS, and etc for reseller accounts. I believe if you buy Modernbill they will spawn a $7.95 reseller account if you deposite 100.00 bucks in you account.

What control panel are you using? What billing software? Do you have a developer (or you) that can code to a specific API?

Tell us more about your setup so we can help you more.....

You can do this with most billing systems. I know for a fact that whoiscart can do that.

I absolutely HATED whois.cart, my money in it ended up being a waste :(

I've gone with WHM Autopilot and love it much more. Demo each one and you'll see for yourself. :)

if you offer free domain with hosting you will get new customers.

Does anyone know if there is a way to use your own eNom or other domain reseller account with H-Sphere if you have an H-Sphere reseller account? I asked my host and they told me that I have use theirs if I want customers to be able to register a domain when they sign up. Other than that, I can use my own domain reseller account, but this defeats the purpose. I want customers to be able to register a domain and when they sign up and I want the domain registered through my own domain reseller account. I would be able to offer lower rates if I could use my own eNom account.
