Registrar - A domain name registrar is a company accredited by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and/or by a national ccTLD authority to register Internet domain names. These "retail" companies are often distinct from the "wholesale" domain name registry operator.

Reseller - The field of domain name reselling has grown as the internet has expanded to include numerous personal websites. The reselling of Domain names was popularized by (among others) Website Design companies who, in an effort to more fully serve their clients, decided to provide auxiliary services in addition to basic site design and development. Partnering with an ICANN Accredited Domain name registrar, these companies began to sell domain names directly to their own clients, using their partners’ registrar system.
