0 Ciwan Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 When I saw this: You could only get directly if you deposit a massive $3975! I got both confused and scared ! Could you please tell me in a direct way how much I would have to pay in order to get a Domain Reseller Account ? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Daniel Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 That means you could only get those prices if you were to deposit that much with Enom directly, however WHMCS give you that pricing level for free. The minimum deposit with Enom is $100. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ciwan Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 OK, so I still have to pay WHMCS $100 in order to get a Domain Reseller Account ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GORF Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 No. The account is free. Once you have the account setup, you must add funds to it in order to sell domains live. The minimum add-funds amount is $100. -------------------------- You will want a dedicated IP for the server and an SSL certificate installed to use HTTPS for client ordering/login etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ciwan Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 OK so I get an account .. but I still won't be able to sell domain names. Until I pay $100 ... right ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DedicatedPros Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Until you add $100 to your account Then you can sell using the 100 bucks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mortfiles Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 ...or setup a subaccount under your main account, then you can pay for new domains only and don't have to add a deposit Prices will go up a bit though... ....or use a different registrar like Directi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ciwan Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 What is so different about Directi ? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 msmom Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I have both. I think the user interface of Enom is friendlier is all. Whenever I've had questions with Directi, they were speedy to respond. Their user interface isn't as simple, but doable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 WHMCS Support Manager WHMCS John Posted November 9, 2009 WHMCS Support Manager Share Posted November 9, 2009 There's no $100 minimum deposit with eNom using Bank Transfer or Cheque. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ciwan Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 OK, so say I sign up with enom and selling their domains ! would I make any money at all from doing this ? Or will it be only enom that benefits ? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ninak Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 OK so I get an account .. but I still won't be able to sell domain names. Until I pay $100 ... right ? If you will be using a credit card to put money into your enom account then you have to do it in $100 increments, but if you want to mail a check in it can be any amount, even $10. Or you can set up the Registry rocket in enom and have the link for RR in your site and users will pay directly to enom and you get the commission. (The prices in RR are the same as you set in the main account but you can also use different ones. Using RR you can move the commission to your wallet and this way you can start building your funds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dkent Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 As for you wishing to allow your clients to pay by Direct Debit - not possible. You can only set up a Direct Debit scheme through a bank, and every bank requires a minimum turnover of half a million through your business each year, and evidence such as accounts is needed. If you're a startup business, I suggest you just get a business PayPal account, or sign up with 2Checkout. This will allow you to accept credit and debit card payments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
