I think its time to bail from dotster...

I signed up to be a reseller and when I put their URL in a frame so it looked like my site it give a cookies error.

I emailed support:

I made a frame that opens my IR URL but now when you search it gives a cookie error. Is there a way to fix this?


They replied:

Here is html code that you can use to hide the actual URL. You will have to modify the src"=/main.htm".

<html>
<head>
<title>Your Page Title</title>
</head>
<frameset frameborder=0 framespacing=0 border=0 rows="100%,*" noresize>
<frame name="mainframe" src="/main.htm" noresize>
</frameset>
</html>


Now... If I told them a frame doesnt work why would they tell me to use a frame?

Shouldn't "main.html" be a full web addres?

I liked dotster as well, but they're interface for reselling is well... cruddy. It sucks. It's not customizable enough. I can't just refer people there anymore either because they assume I'm also recommending their hosting which is actually a completely different company. While I love dotster, I think Opensrs is starting to appeal to me a lot more.

Furton: She went on to tell me to change that to the URL.

JustinK: They told me that people that go through IR to resell instead of an affiliate link from say cj.com dont get the web host ads and other spam messages. Thats why I was going to switch to IR but now I have no idea what to do.

Can anyone recommend a good registar that allows you to resell and it as cheap or cheaper thhan Dotster? I believe IR domains were $13 a year or so...

We've had a lot of problems with dotster taking DNS servers....we register a site, enter all the data, but when we go back 3 days later the DNS servers have disapeared. Has happened last 10 sites. Is getting old fast. >_<

I believe they were $12. ::checks e-mail again:: yep, $12. You could signup to resell for Opensrs, but you have to prepay for about 25 to 50 domains beforehand at $10 each.

Wait until you decide to move your domains to a new register. Netsol, OpenSRS, and register.com all 3 have left me go with no problems. Here I am still waiting for Dotster to even send the first email and support will not reply.
