If you intend to start a hosting reseller business, you may consider reselling domain names as well. Both the services will make your new company more attractive to customers, as they will be able to have everything they need for their Internet sites from a single place. In this way, you can target many more people and the number of your customers will rise. Lots of web hosting reseller back-end solutions feature the option to connect to a registrar company using the API of the latter, so the registration process will be automated. Having your individual domain reseller account gives you more control and it will allow you to supply improved and better support to your clients. Furthermore, the price which you'll pay for a new website name will be lower as compared to what you would have to pay as an end customer. A deposit is usually required for a new domain reseller account.
