enom domains reliable?

sander815 · #1 09-10-2003, 04:43 AM

i have a domain registered at iregistrations.com, that i wish i havent registered there

So, they are reseller from enom, and enom has been so kind to unlock it for me, so i can transfer it to my account @ enom.

Now, are there any catches with Enom, just like there are when you register at iregistrations.com? i mean the hosting option that you HAVE to cancel, and search submission that you have to cancel, otherwise youll be billed

No catches. Enom is great and offers a lot of services free. that is why they are so popular.

You don't have to cancel anything when you purchase you have the options to chose extra tld's and POP3 mail if you want though and they are not a hosting company they just sell domains.

i have been using enom for quite a while

I have tried most registrars out there and, take it from me, Enom are the best.

Support: A++
Pricing: A++
API: A++
Interface: A+

You cant go wrong

Well enom take for ever to update nameserver IPs and records.
E.g. change a few domains nameserver records to our new nameservers, godaddy done in 3 hrs (hit root servers), OpenSRS 4hrs, Enom - 6hrs counting still havn't pushed it to the root servers yet!!!

Changing nameserver IP with godaddy should up rather quickly; Enom hasn't update, opensrs hasn't updated.

My point is Enom is a little slow, to many domains a queue downtime is not good.

Hi,

I completely agree that eNom is great.

I am reselling domains for almost four years. Here's some of my experience:

I used Joker.com for the first year - WORST of all. Expensive! Never response policy. Sometimes have mistake in payment when registered new domain. Complicated procedures to transfer to other registrar (they said to protect the domain owner)!!

I used GoDaddy.com - quite good. But only a few value added service for the domains. Transfer domains to other registrar is the fastest - usually within 4 days

I used onlineNIC for one and half years - price is good. But no value added service. You have to pay for email forwarding and domain forwarding. I had almost three hundred domains registered at onlineNIC last year. This is a terrible time. I have to configure every domain record, email forwarding and domain forwarding for all the clients since onlineNIC do NOT provide a domain control panel for each client. You have to spend a lot of time to configure the Domain for your clients. Transfer domains to other registrar is quite difficult. They always reject your transfer by saying you not to reply the email confirmation. Therefore you have to send emails to support asking them to acknowleadge receipt your email confirmation. I am transferring about 60% of domain in onlineNIC to eNom since last year.

I am using eNom from last year. eNom is perfect. Each client has a domain panel to allow them to set DNS and email records by themselves. Therefore can concentrate most effort in hosting business. No experience to transfer domains out of eNom.

I would rate eNom overall performance A++

Best regards

Don't worry, you will certainly like enom. You won't be disappointed.

why is it that when i transfer a domain to enom.com that i get transfer requests from domainguru?

Now the domain is in my account at enom, but also at domainguru, with the same l/p?

I got billed(9,95) also by domainguru, not enom?

do they work together, or are they the same company?

email enom to see if domainguru is just a normal reseller...

My guess is that domainguru is the ETP (Enom Technology Partner) that you have an account under.

What is wrong with iregistration ?
True they are a reseller, but what is wrong with them.
You could canceled the host and submit, and then live with cheap domain. Am I right or wrong. Or there are more nightmares from them. Tell me pls

Aushosts · #12 09-10-2003, 08:40 PM

Still not overly happy with enom it took them 8 hours to puch our change nameservers to root ones for our serverden domains. Deleted and changed different nameservers we no longer use they are still active in the old state...

We made many edits to many domains yesterday with different regestra's amd godaddy being the fastest and Enom let me down.

I think if your after something that more faster with nameserver updates like we are, then enom is not for you. If you just want cheap domains and time isn't money to you then Enom is great!
We'll continue to use Enom just not with our important domains where we have to make changes to nameservers a lot.

Yea your right. You'll hear people here complaining about them but if you follow the terms and conditions you'll get cheap domains.
Just cancel the services in the control panel and send them an email.
