Free domain reselling questions

    Hi! I'd like to know any method to resell domains (for example, for a "big enterprise") without fees, I mean, without paying a minimum amount, "what you sell is what you get".

    In that case, the ony I could have in my site is a direct link to the script which makes the work registering domains. This script should have my referal ID, and I could earn % of profits for each new purchase.

    I've heard about "registryrocket", and there is a Spanish site that uses it: naranco.com, can you please let me know a bit more about all this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Your query sounds more like an "affiliate" program rather than a "reseller" one.

    Resellers pay a fee to cover the actual costs of registering the domain names
    with their registrar partner, but resell at prices they can "dictate". However,
    resellers are the first point of contact for resolving issues with end-users.

    An affiliate program might fit what you're asking about. You sign up under the
    registrar's affiliate program, they give you your affiliate link with your affiliate
    ID, and you put that link somewhere on your site.

    When people click on that link and register a domain name or sign up a service
    with the registrar, the registrar gives you a cut out of that. If your customers
    have domain name issues, they take it up with the registrar instead of you.

    One company with an affiliate program that I can confidently recommend is
    Moniker. They're not as cheap as Go Daddy, but they're a lot cheaper than,
    say, Network Solutions or Register.com.

    Other registrars like Go Daddy and Network Solutions have affiliate programs
    and reseller programs: Wild West Domains for GD and OpenSRS for NS.

    Thanks for your advices, but that's not exactly what I'm looking for...

    Example: Moniker affiliate program consists in refering users to moniker with text links or banners, that's not my idea, I was trying to find an affiliate program that could offer me a kind of script to register domains directly in my website, please check this, you can see a script placed into the website, thats what I'm looking for.

    Regards.

    Oh that. That's Enom's.

    I'm not sure if they're still giving away free reseller slots with an API solution,
    but check out Registerfly. However, be warned there are lots of people who
    have negative feedback with them.

    I haven't experienced any problems with them...yet. Unfortunately they're the
    only one AFAIK who offers such for free, though for a limited time only.
