Who is using Registry Rocket, or Enom PDQ, or Enom API?


Any ideas what interface RegisterFly and Namecheap is using?

thank you

I think registerfly is using php-API, namecheap is using asp-API.
And aqdomains.com is using PDQ.

I am worried about which to choose.

I use both the registryrocket interface and the pdq system.
Both are great in that you dont have to worry about billing and chargebacks etc, you just collect your commissions and provide support to your customers.

PDQ is a good step in the right direction, but there are a lot of changes that can be made to make it even better. My main problem with PDQ is that the system in its current form is not good for search engine placement, as it is simply a URL redirect to the PDQ system.

if you think seriously about domain business I would suggest to set up the API (php, asp - its up to you) We are having some problems with setting everything up (credit card integration)

I don't like PDQ colors , this dark blue :( and seems like everyone has the same colors so i don't think you can change them

I don't want Enom to porcess my credit cards because you have to wait 90 days for your money... its way to long if you want to sell a lot of domain names.

However I can recommend Enom for their prices and additional features like URL forwarding etc.

yes, they are good.... do you have some comments on their support team? Are they good with technical questions?

btw, API interface looks like the best solution...(btw they even give you a free example site!!! THAT IS COOL!)

I have to agree with the others that the API is the best way to go for anyone who is "serious" about selling domains. The problem with the API is that it is not very well documented.

We are using PDQ as a "bridge" until we get our full API implemented site in place. PDQ is a bit limiting because you can not customize it enough, but it works ;)

I'm not a big fan of Registry Rocket. It works, but each domain is managed by a doman password. In PDQ (and the way we're using the API) we're setting up a retail account for each customer. This way they can manage all their domains from one set of web pages.

Hi Guys/Gals!

Where can a person go to check out this php-api system? i'm on the verge on signing up with enom for the PDQ program but I want to check out this API first..

Thanks!

Ncash,

I don't think you can get access to the API until after you are a reseller.

API is the best while you can deny/allow credit card purchases and not lose money for fraud due enom will charge that domain on you if there was a chargeback and change the domain to you..
