Posted in: #DomainRegistrar #DomainRegistration #Saas #TopLevelDomains

I am developing a SaaS that will offer clients the ability to create a corporate identity website (insert content, upload logos, pick certain colors, and select from predefined themes).

The website will then provide some features to the client to assist in managing their business.

The website will also be accessed by the client's own customers, who should access the client's own domain and have access to customer-specific features.

My question:

Is there a method to automate top level domain name registration without:
1. Requiring the client to manually configure the domain redirect.
2. ‎My SaaS becoming a domain registrar in addition to the other services provided.

Is their a foolproof method to automating top level domain name registration?

These previous question are discussing the a similar issue but none directly answer this inquiry.:


SaaS Platform and multiple possible domains
Third-party SaaS will also host our web site. They want our registrar username and password. Is this normal?




Edit

After reading @closetnoc 's comment, to clarify that I'm looking for an automated way to assign a custom domain name for each client on my SaaS (e.g. myclientscompany.com) and not to have a sub-domain for each client (e.g. myclient.mySaaScompany.com)--if such a method exists.

Top level domain registration is performed through registrars that are verified and approved by icann.org . In order to become a registrar you need to sign up with icann and I believe the fee can be upwards of 0,000 per year.

You can automate top level domain registration through reputable 3rd party API requests provided by icann registrars. These APIs should allow you to register domains through your website and manage the DNS servers from your website. This should allow you to then upload the website files to your server and the corresponding domain names.



Here are some domain registration APIs that might help you complete the process that you are looking for.
