What Types of Domain Names Can I Register Through WebNIC?
WebNIC supports three broad categories of domain names: gTLDs, new gTLDs, and ccTLDs. The company describes itself as an ICANN-accredited registrar and a strictly B2B wholesaler, so the practical answer depends on who you are. If you are a reseller or service provider, you can offer all three categories to your own customers. If you are an individual end user looking to register a single domain, WebNIC is not structured as a direct-to-consumer retail registrar.
The three domain categories WebNIC covers
WebNIC's own materials state that resellers can "offer global domain names registration service" across "gTLDs, new gTLDs or ccTLDs." That covers essentially the full public domain space:
| Category | What it means | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| gTLDs | Generic top-level domains, the classic unrestricted extensions | .com, .net, .org |
| new gTLDs | Later-round generic extensions, often industry or interest based | .shop, .app, .xyz |
| ccTLDs | Country-code top-level domains tied to a country or territory | .my, .sg, .uk |
Because WebNIC positions itself as a one-stop wholesale shop for domain names and related web services, the reseller model is the key detail: you register or manage domains through WebNIC's platform and then provide them onward to your customers.
Premium and premium-tier domains
WebNIC's site includes dedicated pages for "Premium Domain Names" and "Premium DNS." Premium domain names are typically already-registered, high-demand names offered at a higher price rather than standard registration rates. If your customers ask for a specific short or keyword-rich name, expect that some of those fall into the premium category rather than standard pricing. WebNIC does not publish a single universal price list on the pages reviewed, so confirm current pricing and premium status through your account or a direct inquiry.
How registration actually works for a reseller
The registration flow is built around integration rather than one-off manual purchases. WebNIC states it supports multiple integration channels: API, WHMCS, EPP, and pre-built storefronts, plus a web portal.
- Choose an integration channel — API for custom builds, WHMCS for billing/automation, EPP where applicable, or a pre-built storefront if you want something ready to sell.
- Connect your account — you operate as a reseller under WebNIC rather than as a walk-up retail buyer.
- Offer domains to your customers — search, register, and manage gTLDs, new gTLDs, and ccTLDs on their behalf.
- Verify availability and pricing per domain — standard vs. premium status changes the cost, and ccTLD rules vary by registry.
The expected result is that your customers can secure domain names through your service while WebNIC handles the registrar-side infrastructure.
What to check before committing
- B2B only. WebNIC states it is strictly B2B, so it suits agencies, hosts, and resellers, not someone wanting a single personal domain at retail.
- ccTLD rules differ. Each country registry sets its own eligibility and documentation requirements; not every ccTLD is open to every registrant.
- Pricing is not fully public here. The reviewed pages link to Premium DNS, Premium Domain Names, and Payment Methods, but do not list standard registration rates. Ask for current wholesale pricing.
- Support and scale. WebNIC advertises a multilingual sales and support team available 24/7 and over 18 years in Southeast Asia, which matters if you resell across multiple markets.
If your goal is to resell domains to your own customers, WebNIC's gTLD, new gTLD, and ccTLD coverage plus its API/WHMCS/EPP integrations make it a workable wholesale option. If your goal is to register one domain for yourself, you will likely need to go through one of WebNIC's resellers instead.
