Hello,
I have few questions i hope you help me as i am interesting to join onlinenic :

1- I noticed somewhere in WHT that they have slow connectivities these days ... can any one tell me is that situation solved or it still presents ?

2- Evaluating onlinenic only regardless of other compititors, do you recommed them absolutly ? in other way .. do their program and services worth joining or i am thinking in the wrong way?

3- Do my total registered domains per year counts with me to go up towards platinum level ? i.e. i start with bronze (prepay for 10 domains), and registered 60 domain (say 6 domains per month for 10 months) ..
so actually i am prepay for 10 domains during the time .. but i count 60 domains which more than required for GOLD , does this give me the rate of gold ? or i have to DEPOSIT FRESH MONEY to get lower rate regardless of my domains counts?
Can any one explain briefly how this point work with him?

I will appreciate your answers and experience so much. :)

Thanks

I can address a couple of points --

You can work your way up to 6.69 pricing, and I do mean work your way up, as you elude to in your #3. Here's how it works. You progress from one level to the next based on the total of all your deposits with them. To make it simple, consider registering com/net/org at 1 year at a time. Say you first deposit 79.90. That gets you 10 domains at 7.99/domain. Let's say you register 5 domains. That costs 5 x 7.99 = 39.95 leaving you with 39.95. At this point you can deposit 107.35 (187.25 for silver less the 79.90 you've already deposited, even though you have already used 39.95 of the 79.90), giving you silver level. You have 147.30 in your account (107.35 + 39.95) but you have deposited 187.25 altogether to give you silver level. Now your domains cost you 7.49 each going forward from this point. At any time you can deposit another 162.25 to bring you up to gold level, at which point your domains will start costing you less.

They provide you a free API to use, but no "ready made" site like enom gives you. Enom's site also includes credit card processing, online nic does not (you have to do your own). Onlinenic also charges $1/yr for URL forwarding. enom includes other features that onlinenic does not. With onlinenic you can come out cheaper per domain (6.69). But enom gives more features, and if you're going to use URL forwarding, enom comes out cheaper if you can grab one of their old accounts with pricing less than 7.69. If the best you can do with enom is a 8.95 reseller account, then onlinenic comes out cheaper for plain old domain registration.
