Why do Domainers need an
ICANN Accreditation?
Traditionally, the industry has only associated an ICANN Accreditation, with companies involved in the business of selling domain names. However, recently more and more domainers have realized the following benefits of stepping up and getting accredited:

Ultimate Control

- Access to Batch Pool connections for bulk actions
Best Value

- Take advantage of all Registrar specific Registry promos and discounts.
High Flexibility
- Portfolio consolidation
- Hassle-free domain management
- Decide your own Registrar level policies
Additional Profit Centers
- Participation in new TLD launches (landrush) to acquire premium names
- Grab freshly deleted domains
