How to Use WHMCS for Domain Reselling: A Guide

Why Sell Domains?

While profits on domains are small ($1-$2 per year), it’s a "Sticky" service. If a client has their domain and hosting with you, they are 5x less likely to leave. It makes your brand a "One-Stop Shop."

Step 1: Choose a Domain Registrar

You need a "Master Account" with a wholesaler. Common choices integrated with WHMCS:

• ResellerClub
• Enom
• Domain.com
• Namesilo

Step 2: Configure the Module

Go to Setup > Products/Services > Domain Registrars. Enter your API credentials from your chosen registrar.

Step 3: Setting Your Prices

Navigate to Setup > Payments > Tax Rules > Domain Pricing.

• Markup: Add your margin to the base cost.
• Grace Periods: Define how long after expiration a client can still renew.
• ID Protection: Decide if you want to offer WHOIS privacy as a free or paid addon.

Automation is Key

The best part of WHMCS Domain Reselling is that you never touch a single domain.

1. Client pays for domain.
2. WHMCS sends API call to Registrar.
3. Domain is registered instantly.
4. Client receives welcome email. Everything happens while you sleep.

FAQ

Q: Can I sell .com.bd or other local extensions?
A: Yes, but some local extensions require manual verification. You can set these to "Manual Mode" in WHMCS.

Q: Do I need to deposit money with the registrar?
A: Usually, yes. Most registrars require a "Pre-paid Balance" (e.g., $100) before you can start registering domains via API.
