域名转售商

域名转售商是代表ICANN认证[[registrar|注册商]]销售域名注册的公司或个人,本身不持有[[registrar-accreditation|认证资质]]。转售商可获得批发价格和注册商API(通常为[[epp|EPP]])访问权限,以自有品牌提供服务,处理客户计费和支持,而底层注册商维护与[[icann|ICANN]]及[[registry-operator|注册局]]的合同关系。许多虚拟主机公司作为大型注册商的转售商运营。关键区别在于责任归属:若转售商倒闭,保荐注册商仍需承担维护[[data-escrow|数据托管]]和[[whois|WHOIS]]准确性的法律责任。

示例

A hosting company selling domains through its control panel is likely a reseller of a registrar like Tucows or CentralNic — the registrar's name appears as the 'registrar' in WHOIS records, while the hosting company handles the customer relationship.
