Domain Agents

[DeCal]

I would like to offer my site users the option to register a domain from my site. I dont want to offer the work to anyone else unless i get a percentage of the sales, whats the best way to get into this market. Ideally in the UK. I currently use ukreg.com

Thanks

dean i use


oneandone.co.uk

they offer an affliate program to provide a service on your site, banners and links not direct registrations , and the prices are keen.

thanks unclewilco. have you had any problems with them and would you still get a percentage even if you only sold for example, 1 domain name until it was known to your users that you offered the service?

 

[unclewilco]

no problems, for co.uk

i don't use them for .com.. as the us regs are cheaper..


not sure, i have not sold any yet!!!!, but i think they may have a payout limit, so you prob need to sell a few to get any money??

i assume you are in the UK, do you still get paid for the .com's even though they are in the US, i can understand the payout limit, most things are the same but i have found with some companies that you act as an agent for, if you dont meet there limits they disgard them instead of rolling them over until the next month. This puts me off abit if its a bad month and no-one buys!!

Thanks

i have used a few .com reg affliates but not had much luck.. just as you, ie rollover..payments... you could use a middleman like www.CJ.com where the payments get added to a pool of money

sorry.. can't be more helpful..

 

[DeCal]

not a problem, 1 more thing, would it be so difficult to deal direct instead of being an affiliate?

Thanks

 

[unclewilco]

you could get a enom PDQ account...

there are people selling them on here

, but of course they are not co.uk registers (yet)

 

[DeCal]

and what other way would i get .co.uk's myself?

 

[unclewilco]

by becoming a TAG holder with Nominet

There are a lot of registrars that offer reseller APIs for .coms.

I use OnLineNIC, amny on this board use eNom. I think some of the registrars are also members. I believe dotster is.
