[Hidden-tech] Domain Registrars

[GLP]

I think it’s important to have a layer of separation between my account and my clients’ for legal reasons. I don’t want my account to own their domain names.

I have a NetEarthOne reseller account.

I use cPanel and WHMCS, so if my clients ever wanted to make a change, they would use that. NEO does have their own white label interface, too.

> How much do you pay per domain, on average?
.com $9.08
.net $13.14
.org $11.60

Quality of the platform is kind of engh. The interface is janky, but I don’t have to interact with it much. It is cleaner than Godaddy. The core capabilities are just fine. It does let me do bulk actions, including register, renew, modify WHOIS.

We charge our customers only $10/year to manage their domains for them, which saves us TONS of time tracking down and assisting them in managing their domains at whatever registrar they initially bought it if they forgot to renew or their card expired. I'm more than happy to make only 80c per year on these domains for this reason.
