Isn't the real answer as follows: If you want cheaper prices, then become ICANN-accredited and start your own registry. The $10 price point pays for all the overhead that Tucows incurs including the enormously high salary they must pay Charles for the 24-hour support he provides above and beyond his normal job responsibilities...
But seriously, i've looked for cheaper sources but my key criteria was that the customers belong to me. I sell, manage, support and market to the customers instead of just passing them off through a coded link to another site. You won't find that anywhere else with one or two exceptions and those exceptions are worth mentioning for lack of quality, stability and timeliness of product introduction. You simply won't find better than Tucows and if you ever do decide to become accredited then you will see where the $4 goes to... ;) -bryanw -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Kai Schaetzl Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 10:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: wholesale higher then retail (PHP Client?

Are you then going to *guarantee* that you sell at $8 ? Don't tell me that you want $8 or $9 - then you wouldn't be able to compete with Godaddy, anyway.
