How do I become a domain reseller in Rwanda?

Step by step

1. Create an account in the Hostnali client area. It’s free.
2. Open a support ticket asking for the account to be activated as a domain reseller.
3. Top up your balance. Domains you register are paid from your prepaid balance at reseller prices.
4. Download the WHMCS module from the reseller dashboard in the client area.
5. Install it in your WHMCS and set your selling prices; your customers can then search, register, renew and transfer domains on your site.

What you can sell

.rw, .co.rw, .org.rw and the other Rwandan extensions, plus global ones such as .com, .net, .org and .africa. Your customers deal with your brand; the registrations run through Hostnali.

What you need

• A WHMCS installation (or reseller hosting, which goes well with selling domains).
• A website where customers place orders.
• A way for customers to pay you, for example card, bank transfer or mobile money such as MTN MoMo or Airtel Money; you set your own prices and keep the margin.

Domain reseller or reseller hosting?

Plenty of resellers do both: hosting for the websites, and domains through the module. See the domain reseller program, or read how to start a web hosting business.
