For those of you that have smaller web companies, and therefore do not have Nominet membership...

We are keen to strike up alliances with companies that will sell domain names on their site and purchase them from us for £10 each + VAT for 2 years. We don't mind what you sell 'em for!

We would expect a minimum of 10 domains purchased per month per reseller.

In return you can be assured that domains will be registered 7 days a week, reliably and with the maximum in customer care.

This offer is open to all of you worldwide (just convert the figure to dollars etc).

Any interest please email me at info@tamba.co.uk

not a bad idea, however it seems a bit too expensive, with companies like 123-reg around
however, if you were providing some form of automation script/domain shopping cart as well then it would be a good idea then it would sure be worth the price

Well I'm not a multi-billion pound company. It's just me and 9 staff. However, this is what we do offer for that £10 per registration...

* Nice domain checker (with wizard facility) see http://mail.tamba.co.uk/domaincartpro/zaygo.cgi

* 7 day a week service - we register a lot of domains on a weekend! That's telephone and email support!

* Unlimited email accounts for each domaine

* Web Based email for domain owners

I am also working on a total automation solution that will automatically register domains upon request but as we are here between 07:00 - 22:00 every day we don't tend to be known for delays :D

Does this sound of interest?

i wish we were all multi billion pound companies :)

I am familar with the zaygo script, but i was thinking more along the line that this script would be integrated into the reseller's website, with their branding and such.

Is this what you are suggesting in your offer as merely redirecting to you site is not going to be off much interest to people IMO

I may just be confused but this is how i read your inital request

Many Thanks

I propose any of the following:

1. Domain checker on your own site with your brand identity. Orders come thru to us with copies to you so we both know what's been purchased.

2. People who aren't in a competing industry could link to our site using a referral ID that could be tracked and orders linked to their account.

3. No domain checker from us and people can use any old method they like to get .co.uk orders which then get processed through us.

What else do you think I should be offering, in order to attract people yet still make a profit.

This would be a very good idea, and probably the one that would succeed.

10 domains a month might be pushing it a bit with this one

Possible but they need a bit more investment themselves in this one and they could just use 123-reg as i mentioned before

The whole approach has an OPENSRS feel about it and potentially seems a good idea, but I personally feel the bottom has dropped out of the .co.uk domain names market at the moment and therefore more range of domains would be a good idea

OK - I can work to that.

At the moment we sell 30 different extensions though I couldn't do all of them for £10 each - we would make huge losses...

But if it's variety that sells, then we have it.

To be fair we sell a few thousand domain names per year without resellers but we could drop our own prices and the resellers too if we sold more by volume. That's why I want to start this off.

I think the people that will use us as their registrars will be the ones who realise you don't get anything for nothing and what they do pay to us goes towards quality of service.

I advise not to deal with this company.

<< MOD NOTE >>

Please post some reasons and provide evidence of your claim. Otherwise, your claim has no merit.

<< /MOD NOTE >>

Sorry do I know you?

Why did you make that last remark? Have you any grounds to make that recommendation?

Okay,

I didnt really want to go into details but here goes....

A number of weeks ago I was looking for a web design partner for our company. I spoke to a number of companies but was particularly interested in Kay's company because they are based just up the road from us.

We made an arrangement and immediately I gave a very good sales lead to her. I have heard absolutely nothing since. Kay has promised on a number of occassions to send the mails she has sent to this particular guy, but still nothing.

Since this time I have made a deal with another company and things are working very nicely.

Tamba just seem to me to be a company that do not know what they are doing and are out there to take people for a ride. Kay has been very patronising to me and I dont want other companies to get involved.

Not to mention the fact that they are supposed to be a web design company and there site is terrible and they claim to offer "cheap" domains (which are available at a numner of other suppliers ar lower prices.)

Basically on the whole I have found Kay to be dishonest.

I dont want to post anything else on this matter, it just annoys me when people come on WHT and spread bull.

Thanks.

Superdon.

Your comments are fair enough however what this has to do with this current topic is beyond me.

Start another topic detailing your full grievience if you want to, but please don't make this one go off on a tangent

Many thanks

Richard @ Netrg.net

rmartin,

Thats fair enough, i didnt want to take it off topic.

Apologies, its just that sometimes things really get on my nerves to the point of explosion! (Just like the bloody really huge fireworks display my next door neighbours are having that is scaring my dogs and cats to death!!)........wow, things are really getting off topic now.;)

If you check your facts at this stage, you will find that I did contact your client over a week ago with a quotation.

To be called dishonest is appalling. We have worked for years to build a positive, honest reputation and you come on here and slate me for the hours I put in (and my staff too) 7 days a week.

It's interesting to hear my domains called "not cheap" when your prices are in fact far higher than mine.

You say our site is terrible, yet you were happy to get me to quote for the design for your client. Now would any of you here on this forum do that, if you thought the design company wasn't good? Would you offer your clients something that wasn't up to scratch? No, I didn't think so.

This is a personal grieviance and should not have been aired here. Your comments have caused me much upset yet I trust that those who know me and TAMBA here will not believe your unhelpful and inaccurate comments.

Tamba,

I presume this means using Zaygo?


From Zaygo Site..... LICENSE

(a) use the Software for the purposes of product development or commercialization for internal or external use without prior written permission from Zaygo Ltd;

At $149 per license (have dealt with Zaygo extensively in the past, multi domain licenses are not much cheaper) Your going to have to shift alot of Domains to make it a viable business option.

Please don't take this to heart, as I've offered you help before, but,

For those of you that have smaller web companies, and therefore do not have Nominet membership...


The 'two' do not always go hand in hand - Sounds a little condesending to me.

Sorry to sound like I'm pouring water on everything, but £10 (x2 years) + vat is expensive for resellers.
I would suggest you rethink the whole stategy and pricing if your going to offer this type of service, competition is fierce and just one click away.

Eladesor.

hello,

I think he is selling domains for £10 plus VAT and that covers the two years, works out to be £11.75 per two year period.

I still think the prices are a little too high, i being the potential customer as i resell domains i register via UKREG, would see your prices as extremly high. I think i pay £6.90 per domain for the two years with them.

If i can see that im getting exactly the same elsewhere but i can pay half the costs then i would obviously go for the cheeper option.

They register the domains instantly and if i register the domain before i go to bed there live by the time i wake up, which i like :-)

Just my thoughts
