A Reseller is a person or a company, usually ICANN accredited, that manages domain names for end users.
NuNames Reseller accounts are designed for registrars, domain managers, and other domain name
resellers who wish to be able to manage domain names for their clients or other registrants.
Using a Reseller account, you will have access to your own unique, back office website where you will
be able to create your own customers who each have their own unique contact data and where you may
register and manage domain names for those customers.
NuNames offers two different types of accounts.
The primary type of account is a NuNames Customer account. Customer accounts are for use directly by
retail end-users who register and renew their domain names at the retail website at nunames.nu. These
Customer accounts are intended for single individuals or
specific groups. Most of this FAQ applies only to Customer accounts.
Domain names associated with a Customer account will list that account holder as the registrant,
billing, and admin contacts.
Customer accounts are designed to be used by one specific individual, organization, or company and that
user will be listed for all contacts for all domains in that account. Customer accounts are not
intended for use by those who wish to manage domain names for other registrants, since the contacts
associated with domains in Customer accounts can not be changed to different individuals, organizations,
or companies than the account holder. In order to do this, you must be a Reseller
