 | View Full Version : Which registrar/reseller will you pick? Just one, no reasons needed. Dave Zan 02-21-2005, 11:04 AM A thread from another forum has inspired me to ask this. So what registrar or reseller will you immediately use? No reasons needed why you'll choose such, and state only one. Good luck deciding who! :D Bashar 02-21-2005, 11:53 AM enom HuskyNOC 03-06-2005, 02:37 PM I will choose directi good pricing mikelbeck 03-06-2005, 03:33 PM I'd like to use DirectI, but I'd like to test out my whois.cart installation before activating the automated DirectI link. Their "demo" reseller pages have been down for months, they keep saying they'll be up "soon". The last message I got from them said that their demo server was down for "upgradation" with no ETA for "be working". I'm manually registering domains at RegisterFly for the time being. dmaven 03-06-2005, 05:31 PM RegisterFly.com as my primary slydus 03-06-2005, 06:16 PM NameCheap.com Shqiponja 03-06-2005, 09:56 PM Tucows although they are kinda expensive... Bashar 03-06-2005, 10:06 PM Originally posted by Shqiponja Tucows although they are kinda expensive... why pay end user pricing for reseller account? i know they are real good backend wise and support, but there is way cheaper reseller options to average support and robust API Shqiponja 03-06-2005, 10:23 PM What do you mean, like buy from wild west domains or something? Bashar 03-06-2005, 10:28 PM well any reseller plan WWD,directi,enom,moniker etc.. didn't you prepay for $500 to have this account? Shqiponja 03-06-2005, 10:36 PM Well i don't know how tucows works actually, but i have heared only good things about them so i guess they are worth it. Do they only sell to resellers? Bashar 03-06-2005, 10:51 PM yeah and AFAIK its $10/domain eSology 03-06-2005, 11:26 PM eNom.com :agree: DecentHost 03-07-2005, 01:45 AM Enom.com :) Kamejoko 03-07-2005, 01:57 AM Enom.com as well Disgruntled 03-07-2005, 03:09 AM Namecheap.com (Enom reseller), because I like the low price on the privacy protection combined with the amount of control over the privacy protection options. albatroz 03-07-2005, 01:45 PM The problem with registerfly and namecheap is that they sell hosting. So how long will pass before they start spamming your customers with hosting specials! Actually registerfly does it, so this is why I dropped them in favor of namecheap.... however... what if namecheap starts with the same practice? zoli 03-07-2005, 02:18 PM enom.com but I might be subjective.... :) Bashar 03-07-2005, 05:46 PM Originally posted by albatroz The problem with registerfly and namecheap is that they sell hosting.

It is very hard to choose a good partner to work with and keep it for more than 2-3 years. enom is definitely one of the best solutions by protecting the reseller with showing high registration rates to end-users on their own website. albatroz 03-07-2005, 07:04 PM Yeah, this is a nice practice from ENOM Krang 03-08-2005, 05:13 AM NameCheap.com if I need WhoisGuard for the domain, otherwise eNom.com. zoli 03-08-2005, 05:28 AM enom also have a WhoisGuard feature, it is called ID Protect.

Gandi.net tocache 03-08-2005, 08:49 PM domainsite.com :) Disgruntled 03-08-2005, 09:33 PM I don't see the harm in the registry company also selling hosting service, as long as they don't pester you about it if you only want the registry part. I have a domain registered and hosted by Godaddy, and so far (six months) they have respected my opt-out of "special offers". I'd rate them behind Namecheap only because of higher price for Domainsbyproxy. I have two domains recently registered with Namecheap--no hosting, just redirection. So far (two weeks) they haven't bothered me about the fact that they also sell hosting. Some companies decide to annoy customers in the hopes of making a sale; some understand that it's counterproductive.

Yes, but WhoisGuard is alot less expensive than ID Protect, especially when purchased in bulk (I'm using it for 5 domains). jagarco 03-09-2005, 01:01 PM Does anyone knows something about: planetreseller.info irrp.net I have searched on WHT but there's too little info.
