Hello

I want to sell .co.uk and .com domains and for that I need a reseller account.
Please suggest. I am looking for a company with following:

1. Offers a reseller account
2. Deals in both .co.uk and .com
3. Provides private Label domain reselling
4. I want a control panel for my self as well as for my customers

For direct sales I use namecheap, who are an enom.com reseller so prehaps give enom a shout?

enom doesn't support .co.uk or do they?
because on their website .co.uk is not mentioned but other UK domains are mentioned like .uk.com .uk.net

I am confused because when they can support .uk.com then why not .co.uk? is there a difference between the two?

I have a few questions regarding enom, may be someone can answer. I have also sent an email to them but they may not reply quickly so asking here.

Q1. Do they offer .co.uk, .net.uk and .org.uk domains? Because I went to this page http://www.enom.com/help/faq_tlds.asp (http://www.enom.com/help/faq_tlds.asp) and couldn't find these domains.

Q2. I am interested in ALTERNATIVE plan in SILVER package but pricing is a little confusing. It says we need $195 to open account. Is this amount paid yearly or monthly or one time? Is there any other one time fee as mentioned on this page http://www.enom.com/pricing.asp#reseller (http://www.enom.com/pricing.asp#reseller)

Q3. Will I get my own nameservers like ns1.mywebsite.com? Is there any extra fee for that?

Q4. Where can I see complete list of price for each TLD in ALTERNATIVE plan?

Thanks

@Q1
yes they offer co.uk ! Just go to REGISTER DOMAIN and select the TLD from the dropdown menu

@Q2
the fee is a one-time which gets to your account. So if you pay 195$ you can register domains for 195$ ... refilling of the enom account is always possible with at least 100$ per transaction (beware of the 3% transaction fee they charge if you recharge your account with credit card)

@Q3
no. you can use enoms DNS servers which are good and nearly anonymous. they are called DNS1-DNS5.NAME-SERVICES.COM so your customers won't recognize normally that you're using enoms DNS ;-)

uk.com is not a UK domain. It's a .com domain just like webhostingtalk.com or amazon.com or ebay.com. Someone is selling sub-domains under .uk.com, and is marketing them in the UK as an alternative to .co.uk, but that's just a marketing ploy. Same for uk.net and all the other "pretend TLDs" listed in the other post such as ru.com and se.net

Thanks atmike for you detailed reply. It cleared a lot of questions in my mind. Just one last question. You said I can use Enom own nameservers like DNS1-DNS5.NAME-SERVICES.COM but wouldn't someone found about it when he checks the WHOIS of that domain?
I mean if I use these nameservers in my domain and if someone checks WHOIS, he/she can easily see that i m using enom nameservers?

@Lubeca
hmm.....clever marketing....I didn't know that! thanks

yes that's always possible... but anyway, WHO does this ? I always stay with the oppinion that if someone can check and realise this he is either a very good IT professional and could easily host his stuff hisself or he'S bored...
don't worry too much about that.
I use enoms dns since years and no one ever bothered me about enom dns service or anything...

I would look at opensrs. The API seems heavy but they support many more international extensions
