good question. my guess is that they are using it as a loss leader to sell their other services. domain reselling has become quite cutthroat in recent months.
anyone here know this company?

You also have to consider high volume sales,
Consider this, even if after everything is said and done a registrar only makes $1 on a domain register
Well if in the run of a few months or year that register handles 1 million sales, well thatââ¬â¢s 1 million in revenues
The verisign issue has been raised a number of times, the problem is they need one central database
The controversy is verisign also being allowed to sell to end-users
Like in the article it said its like a clothing wholesaler also selling directly to the public
Itââ¬â¢s one of the only government sanction monopolies I have ever seen
Thatââ¬â¢s my .02

There are other fees..... from ICANN depending on TLDs you are selling to your end users.. not to mention bandwidth, servers, API implementation, front-end coding, WHOIS service etcetc....
Direct pricing for consumer market is always higher that pricing for resellers.... ENOM has good strategy for resellers point of view.. selling at low price to resellers and high-prices for non-resellers....
BUT this is the point. There are many users who do not know that you can get domains for <10$ per year. There are still many that buy from register.com and verisign.com and other domain registrars that charge $70 per two years....
Always remember, that it's harder to find a client who pays 35$ per year, but then again, if you are selling domains for $10, you should sell higher volume to make the same profit...
