Domain Reseller Program
Sell .pk, .com and country domains to your own clients under your agency brand. Our reseller arrangement gives designers, developers and IT firms reseller pricing, one panel for every client name and a support team that understands PKNIC rules. Talk to sales to open an account.
Domain reselling is arranged through our sales team
We do not sell reseller accounts through an online checkout. Every partner is set up individually, so we can understand which extensions you need, how many names you manage and how your clients pay you. Contact sales for current reseller pricing and the steps to open an account; there is no obligation to sign up after the conversation.
Tools and support for selling domains to your clients
The aim is simple: you look after the client relationship, and we look after the registry side, renewals and technical detail behind each name.
Your brand in front
Clients deal with your agency for their names, while our team handles the registry work behind the scenes.
Reseller pricing
Buy at reseller rates agreed with sales and set your own selling price for each extension.
One panel for all names
Register, renew and manage every client domain from a single account instead of many logins.
.pk names via PKNIC
Offer .pk, .com.pk and related extensions in two-year terms, with help on document requirements.
International extensions
Sell .com, .net, .org and many country extensions alongside the Pakistani family.
Support that knows the rules
Reach our team by phone, email or ticket in English or Urdu when a registration needs attention.
Is a domain reseller account right for your agency?
A reseller account makes sense when domains are already part of your work. Web designers who build sites for shops and schools, developers who launch apps for clients, IT firms that manage email for offices and marketing agencies that run campaigns all end up registering names for other people. If you are doing that through a personal account today, a reseller arrangement gives you structure.
It suits people who want to keep the client relationship. When your client calls about a renewal or a DNS change, they call you, and you solve it from your own panel. That keeps you involved in the parts of their business that depend on the domain, which usually leads to more website, hosting and support work over time.
It is less suitable if you only register a name once a year. In that case, registering directly in the client name through a normal account is simpler, and you avoid the bookkeeping of buying and reselling. Our sales team will tell you honestly which route fits your volume.
Think too about your appetite for responsibility. As a reseller you are the first point of contact for renewals, contact changes and lost passwords. If that sounds like a service your clients would value and pay for, reselling is worth a conversation. If it sounds like a burden, a direct account may serve you better.
Registering client names correctly from the first day
The most important rule in domain reselling is that the client owns the name. Put their business or personal details as the registrant, even when you pay for the registration and manage it day to day. This protects them if your agency closes, protects you from accusations of holding a name hostage, and makes any future transfer straightforward.
Use a contact email that the client can always reach, ideally on a different provider from the domain itself. A mailbox on the domain stops working the moment something goes wrong with the name, which is exactly when approval messages need to be read. Your agency can be listed as a technical contact where the extension allows it.
Keep a simple written record for each client: the domain, the registrant details, the expiry date, what you charge for renewal and who on their side approves changes. When staff change on either side, that record turns a potential argument into a short phone call.
Explain the arrangement to the client in plain language when you register the name. Tell them it belongs to them, that you manage it on their behalf and what happens if they want to move it later. Clients who understand this tend to trust you more and stay longer, because they do not feel trapped.
Selling .pk domains on behalf of Pakistani clients
Pakistani businesses often want both a .pk name and a .com, and many prefer .com.pk because it signals a local company. As a reseller you can offer these through our PKNIC registrations, which are made in two-year terms. Explain this to clients at the start so the first invoice is not a surprise compared with a one-year .com.
Special extensions need more preparation. Schools, colleges and universities asking for .edu.pk or .ac.pk must provide documents showing they are recognised, and government bodies need an authorisation letter. Collect these from the client before you quote a date, because registration does not proceed until the paperwork is accepted.
If a client is based outside Pakistan, check the address they plan to use. PKNIC may charge more for registrants with non-Pakistani addresses, and our sales team can confirm what applies before you set your selling price. Building that into your quote avoids awkward conversations later.
Because .pk renewals come round every two years, they are easier to forget than yearly renewals. Put each expiry date in your own calendar as well as relying on our reminders, and contact clients well ahead. A renewed .pk name is a small task; a lapsed one can become a long and stressful recovery.
Setting fair prices and margins on resold domains
Clients can see public domain prices with a quick search, so reselling works best when your price reflects the service you add rather than the name alone. Many agencies include DNS setup, email configuration, renewal management and a quick response when something breaks. That bundle is worth more than the registration and is harder to compare like for like.
Decide how you will handle renewals before the first sale. Some agencies charge the client yearly or every two years with a clear reminder; others roll domain costs into a monthly maintenance fee. Either works if it is written down, and both are better than chasing payments after a name has already expired.
Review your costs regularly. Registry and registrar prices for some extensions change over time, while your clients expect stable quotes in rupees. Review your selling prices periodically, and avoid promising fixed prices for many years ahead on names whose cost you do not control.
Finally, price your time honestly. Document collection for education names, contact updates for companies that changed hands and recovery of names registered by former staff can take hours. A small handling fee for these tasks keeps reselling profitable and ensures the work gets the attention it deserves.
What to prepare before you contact our sales team
Start with a short list of the extensions you sell or plan to sell, such as .pk, .com.pk, .com and any country names your clients ask for. Add a rough count of the domains you manage today and how many new ones you expect in a year. These two numbers shape the arrangement we can offer.
Next, gather the details of the business that will hold the account: its name, the person responsible and the contact numbers and emails we should use. If you already have client domains with another provider, list them with their expiry dates, because some may be good candidates to move early and others should wait until closer to renewal.
Think about how you will pay us. Partners use bank transfer, Easypaisa, JazzCash, card or PayPal, and keeping a small balance ready means renewals are processed promptly even when a client is slow to pay you.
Then contact sales by phone, email or the contact page. The conversation is practical: we explain how the reseller panel works, what pricing applies to your extensions and how support requests flow between your clients, your team and ours. There is no pressure to commit on the first call.
Turning domain clients into long-term hosting clients
A domain is rarely the last thing a client buys. Within weeks they need a website, mailboxes on their own name and a certificate so their contact forms do not trigger browser warnings. If you can offer all of that from one partner, you avoid sending clients to another company that may then try to take the whole account.
Our shared hosting runs Linux with cPanel or Windows with Plesk at the same price, with free SSL included on the two entry plans and every WordPress plan. For agencies hosting many sites, reseller hosting is arranged through sales, and larger projects can move to a VPS in Karachi, Islamabad or a global location.
Clients also tend to stay longer when the pieces fit together. A client who has a domain, website and mailboxes with you is less likely to shop around for each part separately, and more likely to ask you first when they want an online shop, a booking form or a second brand.
Keeping domain and hosting together also makes support easier. When a client says their site is down, you can check the name, the DNS and the server from accounts with one provider instead of guessing which company changed something.

Comparing a reseller account with registering names directly
Both are valid ways to look after client domains. The right one depends on how many names you manage and how involved you want to be.
| Reseller account | Direct client account | |
|---|---|---|
| Who manages renewals | Your agency, for all clients | Each client, or you with their login |
| Pricing | Reseller rates agreed with sales | Standard published prices |
| Client contact point | Your agency | Our support team |
| Best for | Agencies with many client names | Occasional one-off registrations |
| How to start | Contact sales | Order online |
Habits that keep a reseller portfolio trouble free
Review expiry dates every month. A five-minute check of the names expiring in the next ninety days catches problems while there is still time to reach the client, collect payment and renew without stress.
Keep contact details current. Businesses change phone numbers, staff and email providers. Ask clients once a year whether their details are still right, and update the registration before an approval email is needed.
Document every special case. Education names, government letters and domains that were recovered from former developers all come with paperwork. Store it with the client record so the next renewal or transfer does not require the same hunt.
Separate client money from your own. Collect renewal fees from clients before the due date wherever possible, and keep a modest balance ready for the names you pay for in advance. Mixing domain costs into general expenses makes it hard to see whether reselling is actually profitable for your agency.
Protect the reseller login. Your account controls every client name you manage, which makes it a valuable target. Use a strong, unique password, limit access to the people who genuinely need it and change the password whenever a team member with access leaves your business.
Watch for lookalike names. When a client has an established brand, suggest registering common misspellings or the matching .pk and .com.pk versions. It is a small extra sale for you and prevents someone else from using a confusing name to impersonate your client online.
Answer quickly when something breaks. A client whose email has stopped working does not care whose fault it is. Acknowledge the problem fast, check the domain status and DNS first, and open a ticket with our team when you need a second pair of eyes on a registry or server issue.
Be clear when a client leaves. If a client wants to take their domain elsewhere, help them do it quickly. A smooth exit protects your reputation and is often remembered when that client, or someone they recommend, needs a new website later.
Domain reseller questions from agencies
Do I need a registered company to become a domain reseller?
Not necessarily. Freelancers, web designers and small agencies join as well as established companies. What matters is that you can identify yourself, keep accurate records for your clients and pay for the names you register on time. Tell our sales team how your business is set up, and they will explain what details are needed to open the account in your name.
Can I set my own selling prices for my clients?
Yes. You buy at reseller rates and decide what to charge your own customers, whether you bundle the domain into a website package, add a management fee or sell it on its own. Agree the details of the arrangement with our sales team first. Keep in mind that clients compare prices online, so a fair margin plus good service tends to work better than a high markup.
Whose name appears as the owner of a client domain?
The registrant should always be the person or organisation that actually owns the name, which is usually your client, not your agency. Registering a client domain in your own name causes disputes later and can block transfers. You can still manage the name on their behalf from your reseller account, with their consent and up-to-date contact details on the record.
Is there a minimum number of domains I must register?
Requirements depend on the arrangement you agree with our sales team, and they can vary with the extensions you plan to sell. Small agencies with a handful of clients are welcome to ask. Tell us roughly how many names you manage today and how many you expect to add in a year, and we will suggest a suitable starting point.
Can I resell .edu.pk or government domains for my clients?
You can manage them, but the document rules still apply. Education names require recognition documents from the institution, and government extensions need an authorisation letter from the relevant office. Collect these from your client before you promise a delivery date, because the registration cannot complete without them and missing paperwork is the most common cause of delay.
What happens to my clients if I stop reselling?
Their domains remain theirs. Because each name is registered to the real owner, it can stay in a reseller account you wind down gradually, move to a direct account with us or be transferred to another provider. Let us know early, and our team will help you hand names over cleanly without any of them expiring in the gap.
Can I combine domain reselling with hosting and SSL?
Many partners do. A client who buys a domain usually needs a website, email and a certificate soon after. Our shared plans include free SSL on the entry tiers and on every WordPress plan, and reseller hosting is arranged through sales. Ask about both together if you want to offer complete packages under one roof.
How do I pay for the names my clients register?
You pay us using the same methods as our other customers, including bank transfer, Easypaisa, JazzCash, card or PayPal, and you collect from your clients however you choose. Keep a buffer so renewals are never held up waiting for a client payment, because an expired name hurts your reputation far more than the cost of the renewal.
