Domain Name Registration, whois really!

[jyt]

Here a new one, cheap only 5.95 per domain name
http://iRegistrations.com

Since I offer registration for 12.50, I was wondering how could they charge so little and still be in business. So I simply put their name "iregistration" in google and quickly here what I've got:

Just click on the "Next" to view an other 7 complains about them, so I simply say "no thanks"

I am a reseller of http://eNom.com but I used an other company which in return they charge me 8.95 per domain, that way I don't have to pay the $500 up front fee of eNom, the company is http://www.easytoregister.net and so far I didn't have any problem with them, I currently have over 50 domains register with them and I am very happy.

Interesting since I also used eNom and I don't have problem with them, I just don't understand why eNom are keeping bad reseller on there list, I supposed it's all about ca$h.

They might not know how bad their reseller is, maybe you should shoot an e-mail to the eNom team!

I wouldn't say it's a scam, but iregistrations.com's $5.95 is more a promotional stunt since you are obliged to use their hosting service that comes free for the first month with your domain registration unless you cancel it within 30 days.

When you know that registrars have to pay Verisign GRS (the registry) $6 for every .com and .net they register, then you'll know it's simply a loss to go lower than that. Actually, taken into consideration other financial requirements and operation costs, it would be almost impossible for a registrar to charge anything significantly less than $6.49.

As for eNom: since they have close to 20,000 resellers (easytoregister.net being one of them), you should be really careful whom you are dealing with; the truth is that just about ANYBODY can be an eNom reseller!
