History

ResellerClub was founded by Bhavin Turakhia and Divyank Turakhia Through their platform, clients can buy and resell products such as shared hosting, domain names, dedicated servers, reseller hosting, VPS, DIY site builders, enterprise email, and SSL certificates.

[6] [7] In 2008, ResellerClub took over 281,000 domains registered under EstDomainsInc after EstDomains was de-credited on charges of fraudulent activities, such as hosting illegal content websites and more. [8] [9] In 2010, ResellerClub initiated a Localization Partner Program, which leveraged crowd sourcing. This was done to find a way through which the control panel could be translated into multiple languages. [10]

By November 2013, ResellerClub halted all business operations with customers from countries such as Iran, Syria, Cuba, Sudan and North Korea.

This was done as a result of the expected conversion into a U.S. based entity which required them to adhere to the U.S. govt.

sanctions levied on these countries.

Domain names registered for customers from Syria, Iran, Cuba, Sudan and North Korea were automatically transferred to RealTime Register’s sister concern, Resello.

[11] In January 2014, ResellerClub was acquired by the Endurance International Group.
