Register with the registries

Registries are the entities that operate the top-level domains (TLDs), such as .com, .net, .org, etc. You need to register with the registries for the TLDs you want to sell and pay their fees. Each registry has its own requirements and processes, such as technical expertise, financial security, and liability insurance.

Set up your infrastructure

You need to have a stable IP address, a secure website, a domain name server (DNS), and a registration system to provide domain name services to your customers. You also need to comply with the policies and standards of ICANN and the registries, such as data protection, dispute resolution, and abuse prevention.

Market your services

You need to attract customers and re-sellers to buy domain names from you. To achieve this, you can use various strategies, such as advertising, branding, pricing, and customer service. You’ll also need to compete with other domain registrars in the market.
