Registering your domain name through a reseller can be as reliable as registering through an accredited registrar.

If you register your domain name through a domain name reseller who works with an ICANN-accredited domain name registrar, the domain name registration is just as real. In this situation, you are bound to the service agreement of the reseller as well as the service agreement of the registrar with whom the reseller works. A reseller should be able to tell you with what registrar they are registering their domains.

In many cases, registering your domain name through a reseller can be advantageous. Doing so can give you another set of Customer Service Representatives to work with who are often easier to reach than those at the registrar and are willing to share with you, the registrant, their knowledge and advice about dealing with the registrar. Although the reseller is not authorized to maintain your domain name or alter your records in any way, it should be able to direct you to the proper location where you may maintain your domain name records.
