What are some of the features of the New.net Registrar Program?
As a New.net Registrar you have end-to-end control over the domain purchase and management process:

• Control over retail domain pricing, default DNS settings, and domain extension selection. As a New.net Registrar you are free to customize your domain sales catalog to the needs of your audience.
  
• Control over the customer communications and site look and feel. All parts of the domain purchase process from searching to billing and renewal emails are completely controlled by you.
  
• Full reporting and domain sales statistics. We provide a real-time reporting system to allow you to optimize your domain sales program.

What are some of the features of the New.net EPP Registry Platform?
The New.net Registry/Registrar platform is based upon the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP). EPP provides a standard Internet domain name registration protocol for use between domain name registrars and domain name registries. EPP is the protocol used by the '.info' registry, so your company may already be familiar with the platform.

• 'Centralized' Whois - The New.net registry serves as repository for all New.net domain contact information. This frees the Registrar from the burden of maintaining a Whois for registrations processed at their site.
  
• General-purpose protocol capable of sending thick data payloads
  
• Increased transactional security

Who Should Become a New.net Registrar?
In order to become a New.net Registrar you will need to implement the New.net Registrar Toolkit on your site. The New.net Registrar Toolkit contains the software and instructions for implementing the EPP protocol used for communication between Registrar and Registry. This process requires a level of expertise and a resource commitment that may not be justified for some New.net partners. Businesses that expect to sell a limited number of domain names, or who do not have access to software development resources, would be better served by joining our affiliate program.
