Online NIC, based in San Leandro, California, has been a fixture in the internet services industry since 1996. As one of the earliest ICANN-accredited registrars, the company carved out a niche in wholesale web services, primarily catering to resellers, ISPs, and hosting providers across more than 100 countries.
Focused on Wholesale and Reseller Hosting
Unlike traditional hosting companies, OnlineNIC concentrates on wholesale solutions, targeting resellers and B2B clients. Their product line includes:
- Reseller Hosting
- Business Email Hosting
- Domain Registration (400+ TLDs)
- SSL Certificates (DV, EV, Wildcard)
- Website Builder Tools
Online NIC positions itself as a backend provider, supporting channel partners without directly competing with them. This reseller-first approach is reinforced by dedicated tools like WHMCS integration, API access, and an easy-to-use reseller control panel.
Hosting Services: Simple Yet Capable
OnlineNIC's reseller hosting packages come with core features such as:
- Free SSL certificates (for life)
- Support for MySQL, PostgreSQL, PHP, Perl, Python, and Curl
- cPanel/WHM with Softaculous one-click app installer
- Unlimited email accounts (on mid- and high-tier plans)
- Weekly backups
- Dedicated IP management
While the platform supports unlimited site hosting with a 99% uptime guarantee, it's important to note that shared, VPS, or dedicated hosting services for end-users are not currently offered.
Security Offerings: Full SSL Suite
SSL certificates are a major part of OnlineNIC’s catalog, ranging from basic encryption to EV-level validation for eCommerce. The company highlights the importance of SSL in both security and brand trust, offering features like:
- 256-bit encryption
- Green address bar and verified business info for EV SSL
- Domain and identity protection against fraud
Pricing and Support
OnlineNIC’s pricing is on the higher side compared to standard hosting providers, but that reflects its B2B, value-added reseller focus. Services are billed monthly or annually, and the company supports multiple payment options, including PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. All plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Support is available 24/7 through phone, email, and live chat. There’s also a knowledge base and presence on platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
A Complicated Chapter: Legal Troubles and Continuation
In 2019, Facebook filed a lawsuit against OnlineNIC and its privacy service, Domain ID Shield, alleging misuse of misleading domains. The registrar initially intended to shut down operations but later continued functioning—raising questions about business transparency. Despite this, OnlineNIC remains active, and its core services are still operational.
Key Advantages
- Established reputation with over two decades of domain and hosting experience
- Dedicated to resellers, avoiding direct end-user competition
- Global network of over 6,000 partners
- Value-added features such as chat tools, free SSL, and business email
- Support response within 5 minutes, according to the company

😠 Pathetic support.
LiveChat always off. No matter at what time you are checking. Day, noon, midnight. No live chat.
I sent them like 10+ emails and all I get "Please be informed that we have forwarded the issue to the technicians. Once there is any news, we will keep you informed without delay."
Not recommended at all.
