Hey mate,

I've always been a bit perplexed as to how registrar's are created. How could I become a registrar?

Any advise or resources to explore this very open question would be wonderful.

Cheers J

Basically, you have to go through the ICANN accreditation process, which is documented here:

https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/accreditation-2012-02-...

The cheaper, and easier way, if you're looking to start selling domains with a lower barrier to entry (but less control over how much you pay/how you sell your domains) is to find a white-label reseller registrar.

In all that time of being perplexed, you never thought to do a simple Google search? https://www.google.com/search?q=how+registrar%27s+are+create...

The first aspect is that every* TLD has it own registry and system. For the generic ones you got ICANN accreditation process, but there is also a bunch of registrar reseller that act as a middle man between ICANN and other registrars.

Usually most processes involve some form of capital investment and/or technical capability. Country specific TLD can either be easier or much much harder depending on which country.

* Not really everyone.
