How does the Instant Reseller System work?

Instant Implementation

The Dotster Instant Reseller System was developed using Dotster's Application Programming Interface (API). When you implement the Instant Reseller System, you are essentially copying links into your Web site that access all of the key functions of the Dotster registration engine. All references to Dotster are removed. These links take you to pages that can be seamlessly integrated into your Web site by using style sheets and modifying headers and footers. In addition to offering a customizable system, we also offer templates to make it even easier to get domain registration services on your site. If you are lacking the time or resources to develop your own site image, use one of our stylish, ready-to-go templates. You'll be selling domains in a matter of minutes!

Turnkey billing
Your customer's credit card is processed directly on Dotster's Instant Reseller servers. Statements reflect a charge from Universal Registration Services, a Dotster subsidiary. Dotster's name does not appear on the statements.

Set your own retail pricing
You choose the retail price points for domain registration, transfers, renewals, URL forwarding, e-mail forwarding, and more - all while receiving wholesale rates from Dotster.

Customer Support
Choose to provide support for your customers or let Dotster provide e-mail support transparently under the Universal Registration Services name.

Real time search and registration
Your customers have direct access to the registry, not just an e-mail template offered by many of the reseller programs of other registrars.

Real time, online customer domain management
Your customers can manage their domain names themselves, letting you get on with more important business.

Payouts
We write you a check for your profit! Your payout is the difference between your retail price and our wholesale price.

Transaction Reports
With the extensive query and reporting capability of the Instant Reseller System, you can see your transaction activity in real time. Select by date range and view orders made by your customers, domain names registered, and complete payout statistics. You'll always know how much you have made each day!

Site Statistics
Collect overall statistics for your site. We enable you to see the statistics that help you manage your Instant Reseller System business. You can view statistics on your site traffic including the number of domain names checked and the percentage of checked domain names that convert to orders.
