What Is an SSL Reseller Program?
An SSL reseller program lets you buy SSL/TLS certificates at wholesale rates from a provider like DomainNameAPI, then sell them to your own customers under your own brand. You set the retail price and manage the customer relationship; the certificate authority handles issuance, and DomainNameAPI provides the reseller panel, API, and billing integrations that tie it together.
Who Is the SSL Reseller Program For?
If you're provisioning SSL for a single personal site, a free DV certificate from your host is often enough. This program is built for businesses managing certificates across many domains or customers.
Wholesale SSL Pricing That Leaves the Retail Strategy to You
You get wholesale rates; what you charge your own customers is entirely up to you.
| Certificate Type | Best For | Validation | Reseller Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| DV SSL | A single website needing basic HTTPS | Domain control | From $6.99/year Starting wholesale price; product and tier may affect pricing. |
| Multi-Domain / SAN SSL | Multiple distinct domains on one certificate | DV, OV or EV, depending on product | From $33.99/year Starting wholesale price; product and tier may affect pricing. |
| Wildcard SSL | Protecting all subdomains under one domain | Domain control | From $56.99/year Starting wholesale price; product and tier may affect pricing. |
| OV SSL | Businesses that need organization identity verified | Domain + organization | Shown in reseller panel |
| EV SSL | Projects requiring the most extensive validation available | Domain + extended organization review | Shown in reseller panel |
| Code Signing | Signing software, applications and executable files | Identity or organization validation, depending on product | Shown in reseller panel |
| Email Signing (S/MIME) | Signing and encrypting business email | Email, identity or organization validation, depending on product | Shown in reseller panel |
Starting prices apply to selected products and may vary by certificate brand, validation type, reseller level, and optional features such as additional SAN entries. Current registration and renewal prices, along with OV/EV options, are shown in the reseller panel — you decide the final price charged to your customer.
Help Every Customer Choose the Right Certificate
DV, OV, EV, Wildcard, and Multi-Domain certificates solve different problems. Here's how to match the product to the need.
| Customer Need | Recommended Certificate | What It Validates | Typical Issuance Expectation | Important Limitation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic HTTPS for one site | DV SSL | Control of the domain | Fast — domain control only | No organization identity shown |
| Cover all subdomains | Wildcard SSL | Control of the domain | Fast — domain control only | Covers one level of subdomains under a specified domain |
| Multiple distinct domains | Multi-Domain / SAN SSL | DV, OV or EV, depending on product | Varies — depends on the validation level chosen | Each hostname must be listed and validated |
| Verified business identity | OV SSL | Domain control + organization details | Longer — depends on completing CA organization validation | Issuance timing depends on the certificate authority's review |
| Highest available validation | EV SSL | Domain control + extended organization review | Longest — depends on completing CA extended validation | Issuance timing depends on the certificate authority's review |

Why Choose the Domain Name API SSL Reseller Program?
How the Reseller Model Pays Off
The case for becoming an SSL reseller at all — profit margin, brand control, and portfolio breadth, independent of which provider you pick.
- Wholesale Access, Not Retail PricingBuy at reseller rates instead of per-certificate retail pricing — the core economics that make reselling worth doing, across all eight supported SSL brands.
- No Reseller FeesNo membership fee to join the program. You pay wholesale rates for the certificates you order, not for the account itself.
- Certificates Issued by Trusted Certificate AuthoritiesEvery certificate is issued by an established certificate authority — DomainNameAPI provides the reseller layer, not the certificate itself.
- Set Your Own Prices and Profit MarginsWholesale pricing is yours to mark up however fits your business — you control the retail price and the margin.
- SSL Reseller Management PortalOrder, track, reissue, and renew certificates from one panel instead of juggling separate accounts per certificate authority.
- Sell Under Your Own BrandYour retail pricing and customer relationship are yours from the start — see the switching section below for exactly what that covers.
- Help Getting StartedGuidance when you're choosing your first products or setting up an integration — you're not building the storefront alone.
- Extensive SSL Certificate PortfolioDV, OV, EV, Wildcard, Multi-Domain/SAN, Code Signing, and Email Signing (S/MIME) certificates, across eight trusted SSL brands.

Supported SSL Certificate Brands
Certificates are issued by these certificate authorities. The lineup is confirmed in the reseller panel and may change over time.
When Does a Paid Certificate Make Sense?
Free DV certificates are genuinely suitable for many basic websites — we're not going to pretend otherwise. Paid certificates earn their place for specific, concrete reasons.
A simple site that only needs to confirm domain control and enable HTTPS is typically well served by a free DV certificate.
Organization or extended validation, a specific certificate authority or product requirement, commercial support, product-specific warranty coverage, multi-domain or business validation needs, or centralized management across many domains at once.
One thing this page won't claim: a paid certificate does not automatically improve your search ranking. The reasons to choose one are validation depth, support, warranty, and management — not SEO.
