Hello

Would someone please tell me Who is the cheapest Opensrs reseller?

Mac

The cheapest I've found is 000domains.com. They currently charge $13.50/year.

If anybody else knows of a cheaper place (OpenSRS), I'd sure love to know about it!

Michael

http://www.weblaunching.net/ - $12/year

www.onestop.net $11/year plus free space. I have a domain registered with them.

biz and .info have landed at OneStop.net for $ 15/year! You can still get your .com, .net or .org web address for just $ 11/year. Also, register a free OneStop.net Subdomain (anything.onestop.net). All domains include a free 10 MB hosting plan. We also offer several low cost pro hosting plans and complete web sites.

Good luck

Hello

I visited onestop and and asked their live support about it and he told they register domains with Enom, OpenSrs and NetSol.

There is not any direct link to their domain system at their main page and in fact they are a webhosting company.

Also visited weblanching. they are a hosting company too but have opensrs registration too.

Anyone has experience with their ompany? I do not want to go from 000domains to theirs for just $1.5 and find that I have lost too many things.

Hi,

Although there are some cheap domain resellers for opensrs. In my opinion, I would prefer www.000domains.com

Onestop.net is cheap and they also provide a free space for your domain and it would be more suitable for personal sites. Their response time are a bit slow and should you register a domain it will take at least a few days before the domain is registered.

With 000domains.com it's faster and more professional since they only concentrate on domain registration.

Since you asked for the cheapest, that why I quoted onestop.net from my experience the domain that I registerd with them, the 2nd year I registered it at 000domains.com since they are all using the same database of opensrs but when I tried to renew it for the third year at 000domains.com, I could not do so and had to do it at onestop.net due to some agreement they have with opensrs resellers I think.

I can still make changes/update at 000domains.com control panel using my username/password from onestop.net without logging in to onestop.net's control panel but the only drawback is the renewal of the domain, I have to use onestop.net and there is always a delay where I had to remind them to renew it as it's nearing the due date without any result when I do a "whois" even though I have already paid the renewal fee to them and warning them that they will be held accountable should I lose the domain due to their negligence as I have records to prove that I paid well in advance for the renewal. I immediately received a reply and noted the domain have been renewed.

What I am trying to say is if I have chosen 000domains.com I don't have all these problems for a few extra dollars. I guess as the saying " You get what you pay for" It doesn't mean that cheap is bad but you have to be extra careful and be aware what is missing compared to a more expensive offers and vice-versa so you don't get rip-off also by an expensive offer.

Hello

Thank you for your help.

I just finished installing OpenSRS reseller clinet program on our website.

I think I'd rather start my own OpenSrs reseller :) Now I will pay just $10 ($250 for 25)

Next step will be starting my own registrar :D

Mac

I think it is too late, however if you are thinking of buying a domain with weblaunching (for whatever reason), I can tell you that I've used them before. Great service, and no problems.

Chicken,

Always great to have your comment :)

I pressed the wrong button last night and noticed that worldpay.com is an opensrs domain through Weblaunching.

In my experience it is very, very unusual for a large company to have a domain through anyone other than Netsol.
That may be an indication of how good they are.

I'm not so sure. NetSol has a terrible reputation among people that research the subject--I think large companies go with them because they were the original registrar. And, therefore, would seemingly have a good reputation. Which is, unfortunately, not the truth.

I've only ever dealt with NetSol and OpenSRS (through 000domains). OpenSRS gives me *so* much more service than NetSol ever did. With NetSol, I have to play e-mail "tag" in order to change my information. With OpenSRS, I log in, make the change, and it's instant. Plus (close to) a third of the price.

I believe you know have the option with NetSol to setup an account, log in, and make your changes. My brother has several domains (for e-commerce businesses) with NetSol--just because he considered them to be the best. Unfortunately, he can't manage all of his sites at once. In order to change a DNS entry (or whatever else), he has to log in several times to change different groups of sites. No matter how much he tries (he's contacted NetSol on several occasions), it can't be done.

For me (and my personal site), I'll stick with an OpenSRS reseller--the best (IMO) registrar out there. If I were to recommend a registrar to a friend of customer for their personal or business site, I'd recommend OpenSRS. If they had deep pockets and wanted the "name brand", then I'd point them towards NetSol, and wish them good luck.

Netsol gives credit.
Thats why businesses use them.

You can be billed for your renewal at expiry and still have 60 days+ to pay.
Businesses expect this.

If an Opensrs reseller was going to do business domain registration it would need to renew on behalf of the customer and then bill them.
This is not impossible but its less likely.
We wouldn't do it because we are strictly cash sales only (credit cards etc).

I have seen too many businesses collapse because their "business" customers would not pay up.

Gordon

We accept business accounts, but you are correct, it can be difficult to collect from a large business.

You have to give them net 45 at a minimum, and then ride them until they pay up.

It's a pain, but we are hoping that we can drive up the volume until the extra processing is worth it. If we were targetting the bulk of our sales to business accounts, we would charge much more than $14.99 though, since it can cost as much as $20 per order by the time we've finally banked the payment...

There is an OPenSRS reseller near hear who charges businesses $150 per domain year in return for the financing.

Strange but true.........
