Resell Biz

What Resell Biz does

Resell.biz is a domain registration and web hosting reseller platform operating as a B2B2C service primarily targeting domain resellers, hosting resellers, and small-to-medium businesses globally. The company provides a comprehensive product suite spanning domain registration across 50+ TLD extensions, bulk and transfer services, premium and IDN domain marketplaces, sunrise/trademark registration via Trademark Clearinghouse integration, and a full hosting stack from Linux shared hosting ($1.79/month entry point) through WordPress-optimized hosting, KVM VPS with NVMe storage, dedicated servers with AMD EPYC CPUs, and cloud hosting. Reseller enablement is a core pillar: the platform offers free WHM, cPanel, and WHMCS with reseller plans, an extensive Domain API for programmatic automation, and bulk management tools, with zero-fee, zero-commitment signup through a self-service portal supporting 9 currencies.

Underlying technology is conventional reseller hosting infrastructure: KVM virtualization for VPS, Ceph-based redundant storage across three devices, NVMe SSD volumes, and 24/7 server monitoring, backed by 29 global data centers accessed via the THG Ingenuity network. Revenue is generated through subscription-based recurring streams including domain registrations ($8-$55+/yr depending on TLD), monthly hosting subscriptions, business email, SSL certificates, and security add-ons (SiteLock, Xcitium backup), with one-time revenue from premium domain sales. Resell.biz has operated under UK2 Group since 1998, was acquired by The Hut Group (THG, LSE-listed) in 2016, and was integrated into THG Ingenuity, the parent's digital commerce division, in 2021. The company is privately held as a wholly owned subsidiary and does not publish independent financial disclosures.
