What is the pricing of the reseller account that is included?

**Aplusmedia** · 07-29-2003, 08:17 PM

$8.95 for .com .net and .org

Can I use it with my own reseller account?

Is itgoing to try once persecond or faster?

Can you recommend a host?

Thanks.

>>Can I use it with my own reseller account?

Sure you can. I offer free $8.95 account to people who needs one.

>>Is itgoing to try once persecond or faster?
By default, it'll be set to check once per second, you can set it to run as faster but you will risk been banned by enom, and its not recommended. I did this once and enom gave me a friendly warning.(I left it run to constantly check with no delay for several days :/)

>>Can you recommend a host?
I always liked venturesonline.com. im currently using clook.net and they're pretty good. pair.com is also very reliable.

Thanks.

On what sort of scale can it compete with snaps, pool , namewinner ect?

Is it any chance to get hotly contested names? or more mediocre names?

Thanks.

I'll be lying if I said it can beat snapnames, pool and namewinner. Though there has been instances where I registered names that had a snaps taken. honestly, there is very little chance that it'll catch you 3 letter .com or business.com, probably 1 in a million chance, but it can get you the less competitive names.

Domains drop during the 2 hours, and theres no definate time for a specific name drop, this script checks the name every second, so it definately beats hand reggers. snapnames, namewinners and pool and so on, probably sends 1000s of queries per second. enom restricts us to 1 per second, you can see for yourself.

This script is useful for registering less competitive names automatically during drop time.

why not sped the money to become a direct domain seller and then query it like that?

Create your own snapNames ;-)

How many checks per day allowed by enom from one ip? 10k?

**Momentum** · 07-30-2003, 02:47 PM

Does your script use the "check method" or the "purchase method" when connecting to enom's api?

**Unregistered** · 07-30-2003, 02:48 PM

it sounds good

**cyphix** · 07-30-2003, 04:04 PM

Does this run of a server & not your desktop?

**DNWizardX9** · 07-30-2003, 04:48 PM

momentum he said on another forum it uses the check method and only uses the purchase method during drop time

**diederik** · 07-30-2003, 05:25 PM

hey your site won't work in Opera - fix it !!!

**diederik** · 07-30-2003, 05:26 PM

Btw - did someone order this one already ? Looks promising

**.com.net.org** · 07-30-2003, 05:37 PM

cyphix : It's server script. But you can run on your desktop if you want.

**Aplusmedia** · 07-30-2003, 08:03 PM

looks like all the questions are answered..

I'll look into the opera problem, thanks for letting me know.

Can you answer this question please. Enom requires running a check command before a purchase command. However, this will greatly limits any chances of scripts being successful. Enom warned me already for using repetative purchase commands. If you have found a way around this let me know and I would be interested in buying your script instead of using my own.

**Aplusmedia** · 07-31-2003, 12:52 AM

Jeff answered the question for me already.

I use the check command before using the purchase command due to enoms restriction on use of the purchase command. There is no way around this.
