I'm searching on the web for the best registrar with the cheapest annually deals. I do like enom but I can't deposit any upfront in order to get the deals under 7$. according to my searches, here's the best deals that I could find:

Enom reseller: 7.95
WWD: 6.95 (99$ annually fee)
Hostway: 6.95$ (75$ annually)
ev1: 6.49
directi: ?$ without deposits
ezinames: 5.95$ (if failed to cancel the free trial of hosting, it will be billed monthly)

I'm so much confuse upon searrching the best and cheapest deal. Please someone help me out the best domain reseller with the cheapest and the reliability. I can't use enom due i can't pay more than 100$ annual fee.

It would be very great if there's a reliable and trustworth reseller which sells domains with under 6$ and with annual fee of under 100$.

Hi John and welcome to the forum,

You DO realize that most domains cost about $6.00 from the registry so anyone selling them for around there is losing money after taking into account payment processing fees and overhead, right?

Also, you didn't specify whether you are looking for a retail account or a reseller account. That is, with a reseller account you could sell domains on your site. With a retail account, you would basically be buying domains for yourself to manage.

You mentioned most of the big ones there. Personally, I prefer enom for it's longterm stabilty. Directi has great prices, but not as reliable. WildWestDomains is okay, but I have issues with their 25% revenue sharing thing. There is also OnlineNIC, but I didn't feel the love there ;)

Use the search button at the top of WHT to search away. There are lots of threads about this subject.

Lots of enom reseller accounts can be purchased here on WHT sometimes down in the advertising forums. Or you can search on eBay for enom. Or you might want to search for members Bashar, Kohashi or acts837. Any three of these guys can explain your options. Actually, acts837 has an interesting rebate system going on: www.namezoom.net

Best of Luck!

If I do not mark on their wholesale pricing, I would be able to get domains at $6.00? Since my customers are locall, I won't be needing to deal with credit cards, so this seems a good option.

If you think that WWD will sell you .com & .net domains at $6.00 as an everyday price, then I guess you should go with them.

I doubt any company can sell com net org at 6.00 and stay in business long term unless there is some form of catch
