Hi, I was just wondering that I want to start a domain registration company like co.cc, .uk, .tk etc etc! Can any one help how can I start one! What is needed! Regards
u really shouldnt be starting your own registration company if u dont know what ICANN is hmm i wanted to link to wikipedia but apparently im not allowed to do that yet
Do you have a few thousand dollars? If not, you cannot become an ICANN registrar. Do you know what ICANN is? If not, don't bother becoming a registrar. You can get RESELLER accounts from various registrars. That's how some of the large companies started out.
Well Until some one tells me what is it, I wont know it! Even if I am not going to start it, its a good way to gain knowledge!
Google is your friend you will find it... but if you don't know what is the ICANN how do you want to start your buiness ?
NO, Don't waste ICANN's time. Search "Domain Reseller" or similar, if you don't want to spend the $xxxx to become accredited. FINANCIAL INFO To ICANN: US$2,500 non-refundable application fee, to be submitted with application. US$4,000 yearly accreditation fee due upon approval and each year thereafter. Variable fee (quarterly) billed once you begin registering domain names or the first full quarter following your accreditation approval, whichever occurs first. This fee represents a portion of ICANN's operating costs and, because it is divided among all registrars, the amount varies from quarter to quarter. Recently this fee has ranged from US$1,200 to S$2,000 per quarter. Transaction-based gTLD fee (quarterly). This fee is a flat fee (currently $0.20) charged for each new registration, renewal or transfer. This fee can be billed by the registrar separately on its invoice to the registrant, but is paid by the registrar to ICANN. Please refer to http://www.icann.org/general/financial.html for the most recent ICANN Budget to find additional details about invoicing, including options for relief. Please refer to http://www.icann.org/financials/payments.htm for instructions on how to submit payments to ICANN. You must have: US$70,000 in working capital requirement. THIS DOES NOT NEED TO BE PAID TO ICANN; ICANN requires only that you demonstrate (by submitting an independently verified financial statement) that you have at least this much liquid capital (cash or credit) before your ICANN accreditation becomes effective. Commercial General Liability Insurance coverage of at least $500,000. This coverage must be maintained in force throughout the term of your accreditation.
