View Full Version : Enom price/service confusion

We're planning to use WHMCS with a new Enom account - but which Enom account and how much? It's really confusing and I'd ask Enom, but have read their support is not the best, so I reckon you guys will tell it like it is, without the male cow thrown in.

Some say you have to make a minimum deposit of $100 with Enom. Looking around their site http://www.enom.com/pricing.asp though, they say "eNom's Reseller GOLD Pricing Plan has no account fee" but then you need minimum $1495 to open an account! Then they say "Become an eNom Reseller for as little as $195" - that's a fee, not a credit.

All I want is for people to place their orders, including a domain name, and for WHMC to check availability via Enom (or wherever). When an order is placed, a real human is notified and personally checks and approves the order, a) because we have our own credit card merchant account, and b) I don't want rubbish on our servers, so I don't need instant processing via Paypal etc.

Nor am I particularly interested in making a large margin on domain names, as I see this as a component of our full client service, not a means of making more money.

Would really appreciate an honest insight into Enoms plans/pricing and pitfalls to beware of.

Thanks

PS. We could stay with Registerfly, but frankly they are making me very stressy.

About a year ago Enom reseller account needed about $6950 (spendable required deposit) to open a shiny $6.95 priced reseller account. Later due to heavy competition in reselling Enom made a shortcut introductory price of $1495 (unspendable) that allows new resellers to jump in the reseller wagon easily.

Check the pricing or drop Enom an email through their Help system to get a full pricing structure. I have always found them very helpful in getting answers especially related to opening a new reseller account.

This is the Enom price structure https://www.enom.com/pricing.asp

or you can contact the Stargate manager here and get a $6.95 account with no deposit required. WHMCS now also supports Stargate.
