Managing your own registry accounts with ResellerInterface

Thanks to modern domain management tools like ResellerInterface, operators can delegate important tasks in this area using their own registry accounts. These tasks include domain registration, billing, and DNS settings, saving time and relieving the IT department.

This post delves deeper into the topic of domain management, highlighting its pros and cons and introducing key features.

What is meant by domain management?

Unlike traditional standalone domain management, modern domain management offers the ability to streamline and simplify various processes. This helps domain owners and managers save work, time, and money.

An interface is used for this purpose, where all functions are easily customisable. These include tasks such as registering new domains, managing customer domains (resellers), and settings like:

• FlexDNS
• Mass adjustments to records
• Permission management for users and customers

Domain management providers like ResellerInterface include all the essential functions and products necessary for modern and efficient management. Additional product areas such as hosting and SSL are also integrated to offer customers extended services.

Who are domain management service providers suitable for?

Domain management service providers like ResellerInterface are beneficial for all companies seeking a direct interface with domain registration authorities. This enables them to easily manage memberships. This includes:

• Medium to large companies and corporations with extensive domain portfolios for their numerous online projects
• Agencies managing their own client projects
• Resellers managing their own sub-clients
• Domainers investing in large domain portfolios and trading in internet addresses

Complex and nested configurations are a thing of the past with domain management service providers. This is ensured by simple user interfaces and intelligent search and filtering systems. Thus, managers can stay on top of things and work efficiently even with large numbers of domains to manage, as it's not uncommon for companies to handle several hundred domain entries.

Pros and cons of external domain management

Below are the key advantages and disadvantages of using an external domain management:

Advantages

• Administrators get a complete overview of all domains in their portfolio in one interface. Simultaneously, all functions and processes are easily accessible with their own registry access, allowing full control over all domains with just a few clicks.
• Domain management tools adhere to all domain policies during registration and management. These include:
  - ERRP
  - WDRP
  - FOA
  - RDAP
  - WHOIS
  - DATA ESCROW
  - Contact validation
• If policy changes are made at domain allocation agencies, providers update them directly in their system. This ensures domain administrators are legally compliant.
• Thanks to a powerful DNS infrastructure, all records and configurations are possible. This includes all record types, headers, frames, and many other redirections.
• The prices for domain registrations, renewals, and other services are the same as those of a registrar.
• Integration into your own system is quick and straightforward.
• With an API-driven system, all functions are available via the REST API.
• If resellers want to offer their services and a registry account to sub-customers, a white-label interface is also possible. This gives customers the impression that the domain system comes directly from the reseller.

Disadvantages

• To fully utilise the domain management tool using your own registry accounts, integration is required initially.
