I can easily create an online payment facility, and a form to collect the domain-owner-details. My problems are:
1.) How to interface with the .com and .co.uk availability-database?
2.) How to automatically and officially register the owner details of a domain?
Are these the options?:
1.) Either, use a Registra that provides an interface that I can put on my site (with my logo, not theirs). If anyone knows such a registrar please let me know (e.g. stickymail).
2.) Or, become a Registra.
If this is a sensible option, can anyone tell me how to? for .co.uk and .com
I expect to sell at most 10 domains per week (so we're not talking thousands!).
Enom, GoDaddy, NetworkSolutions - to mention a few of the "majors" - offer reseller accounts.
Due to the needs for uniformity in functionality and management the interface they each provide has common elements with the parent company's interface but they are customizable for "look".
