    centralnic, domainnameapi, even name.com has similar api integration

  • TrKTrK Veteran

    Above?

  • LeviLevi Veteran

    Most of them requires initial top up or some kind of commitments in term of quantity.

  • Openprovider may be good for you.

    Do anyone has 500+ domain with openprovider?

  • OMGOMG Member

    publicdomainregistry.com

    If you have a better option, please let me know.

    Back when I ran a host I used connectreseller, it was pretty easy to hook into.

    Quite some time ago was using https://reseller.netearthone.com/ for someone else's project.

    Good guys, had no reasons to complain. Rather small business, kind of LE.

    No idea how good they are nowadays though, years went by.

    Osir.com has the best pricing

    Hexonet/1API used to be good and didn't have a minimum spend, but I'm pretty sure they're gone now.

    Enom's the classic option, but their pricing has always been way too high. Try centralnic maybe?

    You don't strictly have to use a reseller account. You could use a regular registrar that supports subaccounts and has an API, and build your own integration using their API.

    Enom is absolutely terrible API wise. There's no way to get EPP codes out of domains, its emailed to the registrant, so its pretty involved to do any bulk moves.

    Their portal is slow as balls as well.

    They have good pricing. can't see much about them on the internet. Are they new?

  • evolushostevolushost Member, Patron Provider

    https://realtimeregister.com we’ve been using them for quite some time now.

    The domain price is their cost price (they have really good cost prices) + $5/€ per month for up to 100 domains.

    For more than 100 domains (starting with the 101st domain), it’s then 1–3 cents per domain per month, depending on the total number of domains you have.

    Yep, I have investigated those. Really good pricing, but with small caveat: they try to lock you in with massive "Registrar change" fee. This means if user wants to transfer domain away from me he would have to pay 3x domain registration price. Not acceptable.

    I thought ICANN didn't allow that, but apparently they do... Absurd.

    My registrar is charging me a fee to transfer to a new registrar. Is this allowed?

    Yes. Registrars are allowed to set their own prices for this service so some may choose to charge a fee. However, a transfer cannot be denied due to non-payment of this transfer fee. There are other reasons your registrar can deny transfer request. See FAQ #8 above for more information.

    And registrar hoping is pretty often procedure for price savy customers. They rake pretty penny on that fee...

    Where did you found a Transfer Out Fee with Realtimeregister?

  • ikxsikxs Member

    I've used Namesilo before, their API is decent and no minimum deposits. Just works.

    there should be some minimum deposits right per month or year?

    .lt domain. It seems they slam that fee on those who does not forbid that practice.

  • Guys, which one is the best from here?
