Bulk domain registrar recommendations
I know L.pm'ers have some skillz here... I've been a bulkregister (now enom) customer for years but they charge a $99/yr fee and at $10.50/.com/yr aren't that cheap. They do have some effective (albeit slow) domain management facilities, including bulk changes. I'm having a surreal conversation with one of BR's sales guys who's disputing GoDaddy (as a semi-random example of cheaper vendor) is actually cheaper, rather than doing the decent thing of offering a competitive price. So time to go... Which registrars have a decent features/price for someone with a few dozen domains? P

I use Resellerclub, OpenSRS, GoDaddy (I wish I didn't!) and Enom for domain registration, etc services. Resellerclub is probably the best of them for my purposes. They don't charge a membership fee and their prices are OK. They provide a reseller front end so you can pimp the services as well as using them and they also have an API which you can use if you don't like their front end.

The user interface is OK although it is getting a bit cluttered as they've added more and more services. You can do various things in bulk via the UI. They're UK based and perl powered if that's important to you, originally built by one of this parish if I'm not much mistaken. S.

The website works, and they charged me $9.69 for .org and $10.16 for .net and .com for a year's renewal of a handful of domains. So far, I've not tried to port *away* from them so can't comment on whether that's painful or not, but I've not seen any need to do so either. They've usually got some promotion on for new domains or port-ins. Stuff like a discount on the price or a free SSL cert. So google for "namecheap discount" or similar, or follow their Twitter stream to get a discount code.

Can't say I'd recommend smaller organisations going direct to nominet - given most UK outfits will charge several pence more than the member price for a UK domain, it's a bit tough to justify the 400ukp joining/100ukp annual fees. the hatter

I took the word "bulk" in the subject to mean "a lot".

I've recently started moving all my domains over to http://www.dynadot.com/ These guys seem very smart. Their interface is decent, and fast (I too am/was a bulkregister user since before the $99/yr fee.. ~1999 I think). Dynadot charge $9.75/yr per domain for .com, and $8.99/yr for .co.uk. It Just Works.

I was a bit more specific in the OP with "a few dozen domains" altho' as it happens I got rid of all my .uk domains as they were a pain in the rear. P
