Well basicly i'm just starting out in the hosting buisness, and i really need some help, i have a reseller plan, and 3 differant hosting packages, and now i've nearly finshed the homepage. But what i need now is someway to register domains on my site.

I need a kind of reseller plan that doesant require me to pay $400, i'm on a small buget of well... nothing, what i really need is someone willing to be able to register the domain for me and then i forward the information onto my customer.

As i'm new do i have the wrong idear and what are the pros and cons about the differant methods.

Thanks,

Dotster reseller used to be free sign-up. I'm not sure whether that offer is still valid. Enom specialises in reseller account and come with a good reputation. I think there initial sign-up is $199 or there abouts. You can also get sub-reseller accounts from Enom resellers whith no deposit and $8.95 per domain. Directi... err... ResellerClub is probably the cheapest per domain but requires a $500 deposit nowadays.

As a general rule, the more you deposit, the more you are going to resell, the more the registrar likes you and, the cheaper the prices per domain. On a limited budget, I'd suggest an Enom Reseller sub account.

Anderson, contact Bashar and get an eNom $8.95 account. He is very helpful.

Good luck!

If you are small just use whoever is cheapest at the time, if you want to automate then I would suggest signing up as a domain name reseller, enom has a good deal, so does godaddy and wildwestdomains.

eNom's initial deposit is only $100... at least that's what I paid.
