Howto become a domain name reseller
My clients are not technically literate, so want the interface to be as simple as possible.
I'd like to code up a custom checkout process that:
(a) Helps them to choose a domain
(b) Accepts payment
© Registers the domain in their name with 3rd party & points the nameservers to ns*.linode.com
(d) Creates the relevant ns entries at linode.com to point to my webhosting & email services
I'm looking for a 3rd party registrar with a decent API that will allow me to handle (c). Ideally I want something that is easy to integrate into my site, and doesn't try to upsell my customers to 3rd party products.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
David
