Who is a good registrar for registering for reselling purposes? Considering that I've never transfered a domain before, basically I am asking not only price but price/ease of transferring out (however that is done).
Also I am trust-sensitive; I would prefer to go with someone accredited because I was SCREWED once and lost the domain name.
I am thinking GoDaddy.com.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Just my opinion.
I'm direct reseller of the following:
OperSRS, Enom and GoDaddy (wwd).
I preferred enom because of standard feature such as URL/web/email forwarding, dns management and easy transfer to another account.
I used them to gather information and trend of the business.
- OpenSRS provide php API.
- Enom provide php API and template (ex. www.needname.com & www.domaincheap.com, I used domaincheap.com as example because of modified home page of template)
- Wildwestdomain provide template, they will also offer API though no estimated date.
Most of resellers here provide FREE $8.95 sub-reseller account e.g. Enom Technology Partner (ETP) or sub-resellers. I suggest that you try the FREE reseller account for $8.95. If you think this is good for your business plan, then slowly upgrade this to $7.85 down to $6.95.
Let me know if you need an account and don't hesitate to send me pm or email.

Thanks for the reply; it is more informative than I can handle right now; I will have to look up what your abbreviations mean, etc.
All I know is that my list of decent unregistered .com's is starting to grow to 'like 40 I made up this morning and at the same time I'm really not sure how much time I should be spending on this.
So I'm kind of in a dilemma.
I guess I will have to make time.
I will re-read your reply and look up what you're talking about in a moment.
I'm not too clear on enom: how is a reseller account different from a normal one, how is the name-only price ($5.99/yr?) different from the reseller name-only price, and what is the cost to transfer-out a domain (ie. sell it)?
And what's the difference between me going through you or through them?
i will try to look up their help section so as not to burden you; you have been very helpful
But after all that domain-testing I think I'm losing my eyesight!![]()
well $5.99/year is for names that do not need DNS... If you will need to add DNS, prepare to pay extra
ps. I will suggest enom for reselling

Is enom's name-only service suitable for reselling?
What is the proceedure and cost to transfer domain to someone else in this case?
You can do the name-only service to resell for $5.99/yr though you can't use it unless you pay $3.99 to activate the domain name, then you may transfer this to another registrar. For enom reseller to another reseller, push a domain name is FREE. From enom to other registrar, you have to pay final (destination) registrar transfer fee between $8.75-$35.
The name-service is being use by some companies to protect other domain name related to their services and products, not necessary accessible to the site.
Hope this help.

I suggest you go with enom.
I do not like enom's $5.99 name only, because you have to pay more when you want to sell it or use it.
