Zed Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Greetings WHMCS fans, Like many eNom resellers, I just received an email informing me they will be raising the price of their .com domains upwards of 40% unless you can do at least $100k worth of business per year. I'm not sticking around for that. Does anyone have advice on another good domain reseller they've used with WHMCS in the past? I always appreciated how well eNom integrated with WHMCS and would like to duplicate that integration if possible. Right now resellerclub (or logicboxes) seems to be my best bet. Please let me know your thoughts, -Ed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougK94 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Resellerclub, Netearthone get my vote. And if you use a logicbox reseller, check out resellerclub-mods.com. Marco @imaticon does a super job with mods for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivyrelaxe Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I'm in same situation. I've to go out of Enom so I've made the choice of Resellerclub with WHMCS free offer but after registration I've no idea what to do to activate and work with them. Do you have a link with details or tutorials to help me please? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinc1402 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I use opensrs, they have good prices. Also Enom and resellerclub are getting their domains from Tucows (opensrs mother company) I also like the fact that you can brand almost everything including all icann related emails 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 Thanks Vinc1402! I'm looking into them too. I'm going back and forth between resell.biz and opensrs.com right now. Both seem like strong platforms that are maintaining reasonable prices -even better than eNom's old prices. -Ed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivyrelaxe Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I've found HEXONET and their prices and conditions are good too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Thanks Vivyrelaxe, The problem with Hexonet is that they don't integrate with WHMCS very well. There's a lot of unsupported features in their platform: https://docs.whmcs.com/HexoNet -Zed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivyrelaxe Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Thank you for your information. It's not important for me but it's important for many others. Great to know. Have a wonderful week! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of unsupported features in their platform: Hexonet have written their own free WHMCS modules (unencoded too!) which have all the features missing from the WHMCS module... and more. https://www.hexonet.net/resellers/integration#whmcs now the usual caveats apply with all third-party modules in that WHMCS are not responsible for supporting them, and so the modules are only as good as the support supplied by Hexonet, and their frequency of updating - but seeing as their module was last updated at the end of April 2018, it's no doubt compatible with the latest WHMCS version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Well, it looks like going with resell.biz is out of the question. They just posed an absurd request on my end. After I filled out their application as thoroughly as I could, 4 days later they sent back this request: Hello, We have received your request to sign up for a domain reseller account with resell.biz. While processing this, your account was flagged as potential fraud .To reduce instances of such fraud we request that you send in the following verification details. For verification, Please provide a photo copy of 2 forms of verification. This needs to be 2 photo ID's (drivers license, passport, etc.) As well as an image of you holding one of the id's you send in. Please make sure the images are light enough to read. The information we request is used for verification only. 1. A photo Id of you drivers license 2. A photo ID of your passport or another photo id 3. An image of you holding your drivers license for example https://www.abdn.ac.uk/news/images/196PASSPORT16x9.jpg Please send them as attachments to a reply to this email. We look forward to hearing from you and doing business. While I'm happy to verify my corporation, there's no way I'm handing that personal information over to an international company. I'm amazed they think that is a necessary request. None of those details are attached to my company name anyways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The are dealing with you and not a company as the account holder on behalf of a company. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar situation when applying for NetEarthOne (another Logicboxes registrar like resell.biz) back in 2014, they wanted to see my passport and a utility bill... the account was activated, but i've never used it - for me, resell.biz are cheaper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadWebHosting Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 You can also access low pricing and source code module from OnlineNIC: https://onlinenic.com/integration/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gei Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 We just switched from eNom to hexonet ourselves and could not be happier - far better prices, and their support team has been excellent. They also don't charge any additional markup on credit card deposits which is one of the many hidden fees of eNom. We were waiting days or even weeks in some cases for email replies from enom, whereas we get them within minutes from hexonet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 Yup! They've been a huge improvement so far. eNom's pricing on some specialty domains is slightly better. But for .com, .org and .net Hexonet is far better and they respond to support emails very quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kian Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Internetbs They're not so popular but prices are okay and they developed their own module. Personally I hate every single Registrar module but their one gives me peace of mind. It just works and their documentation makes sense.

michelle Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I'm in the same boat. We've been with eNom forever but we're not high volume and the new pricing structure is ridiculous. $17 to renew an .org domain when clients can go directly to the eNom website and register it for less? Ummm... I don't think so. Hoping to make a decision this weekend and start getting clients moved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can then push all your domains across. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm... I don't think so. Hoping to make a decision this weekend and start getting clients moved. whoa $17 is steep - I thought the new OpenSRS (who recently bought eNom) pricing structure was bad enough when a .org renewal is upto $15... if you compare that to the $9.55 we can get from resell.biz (interneet.bs prices will be similar), it's not even worth considering. 29 minutes ago, bendrop said: If you want to stay with enom, request a free reseller account from whmcs. Org domains are $12.57. You can then push all your domains across. whilst I would never use the reseller account, that's not a bad shout if @michelle already has a lot of domains with eNom - they should be treated as transfers between eNom accounts and shouldn't need confirmation from the registrants; whereas if you moved them to another registrar, they would effectively be transfers, hence come at a cost and would likely require confirmation from the registrant too. though i'd recommend checking whether the prices shown on the free reseller account page are still accurate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yggdrasil Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) I think the domain reselling industry is mostly dead now. CloudFlare is now giving domains at cost so there is no way you are going to be able to match that price and still be able to compete, as others are going to match that or offer similar deals: https://www.cloudflare.com/products/registrar/ And yes, people only care about pricing with domain registration. They actually don't care for any of the extra services it seems. Edited October 8, 2018 by yggdrasil 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyhosting Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 These will be intro prices for their new services. if you think domain registrations are dead then you are in the wrong industry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Those are end prices for customers, even free accounts. They actually lose a bit of money per domain (after merchant fees) but they can off set this because they earn money from other services. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
