Re: Bulk domain registrar recommendations
Hello! I've been using Joker as well and it's great (and inexpensive as well). I would definitely recommend them. Except that if you want to transfer a domain to them, you have to *fax* paperwork to them. Not really, that was happening maybe 10 years ago. I'm trasferring domains for my customers to Joker almost every week, and I never sent a FAX after 2000 or so.

The management tools were shonky, but mostly got the job done. I gradually transferred my domains away when they started insisting on VBV/3DS for renewal payments, which was a deal-breaker. I was also not impressed with domains magically re-locking themselves as the transfer out was in progress. I dropped them a polite note to explain why they'd lost my custom, but they probably don't care about a $100/year customer.

Thanks - unfortunately even tho' they might be inexpensive compared to say Register.com they're still $12.80/.com/yr which would cost me another $140/yr. https://joker.com/index.joker?mode=pagepage=pricing I'm curious about GoDaddy's model -- the BR sales person is insisting they can't charge what they say as it's less than cost price. OTOH GoDaddy claim to guarantee their initial price, not ramp up later. Maybe it is a loss-leader, based on various upsells like hosting. What are people actually paying? Paul

I recently renewed two .info domains for a year for US$8.17 each.

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.

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? 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.
