Hi all,

I usually registered my .co.uk through 123-reg.co.uk; Very cheap, around £6 per 2 years.

I have a eNom reseller account and thought I'd go through eNom here's how it worked out:

2 years therefore $15.36 + $15.36 + Taxes = $32.38

So they charged $32.38.

That's around £18 per 2 years.

Is this right? I raised a ticket and they said it was??

thats expensive - for .co.uk's i uses fasthosts , its like 5.50 or something horrendously cheap.

That's what I'm think and that's why I thought it was a mistake.

Unfortunately nominet makes registering .uk domains quite hard on a technical level. Everyone thought it will get better when they introduced EPP. But then there is the name of the standard that stayed, nominet changed so many things that you can't really implement it like any other registrar.

I guess that's one of the main reason why registrars outside the uk are more expansive. You just can't integrate them seamless in your business processes.

Go with a uk registrar if .uk domains are one of your core requirements.

$32.00 is a lot for co.uk considering I have seen it for much cheaper.

What I'm saying really - Is this the true price eNom charge?

I am an enom reseller and am only charged 6.99/yr :D

Are you sure you're looking at the correct column?

I've just taken a screenshot from one of our subaccounts, does it look like this?

The first column shows the price that will be deducted from your credit balance, the second shows how much you are charging if you use their Registry Rocket.

If you're using their API, the first column is the only one that matters.

I am using WHMCS, so there API. So I cannot understand then why I have been charged so much.

I have just checked on the eNom @

https://www.enom.com/myaccount/RenewalPricing.asp?tab=2

and indeed the price is $15.36

I've attached a shot..

So am I doing something wrong? Can't see how?

That'll be the price that has been set by your account provider.

Where did you get the account from? It may be a mistake.

My previous host! Saying that, I'm sure it wasn't that high a while ago - They have obviously changed it!! OK.. I need to move on from them and get a more reasonable account from a different host.

If your previous account was a moderndns/modernbill account (modern gigabyte sold out to parellels) then that is poss why it is so high, for instance you can get .UK as cheap as $5.22 per year or even cheaper now.

If you are not happy with the pricing given to you by whomever created your eNom reseller account for you, then you should either:

1. Ask them to lower your pricing. (They have full control over it, and can lower it to whatever is their own minimum amount for their own account.)

2. Get a new enom reseller account from a different provider. Any eNom reseller can create an account for you in a few minutes, and you might find better pricing with a different provider.

That's exactly what I have done! :-)
