Hi ! Just read a cpuple of months that .com domains are sold from ICANN with somewhere between 0.3-0.4 $ for direct resselers to ICANN . I was wondering how one can be a reseller direct from them ? What does it take for them to accept you, buget, requierments, all that stuff . If one of you knows something about this, please post ! Thank you !
You mean being a registrar like Go Daddy, eNom, Network Solutions, etc? Well, it costs at least $50k, plus consistently meeting their technical requirements. Next best thing is to be a reseller for a registrar, which isn't always expensive. There are various solutions around.
Its very much true said by "Dave Zan". As in My site www.DomainDotInfo.com u could become reseller without any cost. U could get ur own site for with out any hosting or any cost.
As far as I can see, your reseller link doenst work. And i am ware about the reseller issue, and know pretty much all about them. I am interested in ICANN direct resellers, not for myself, I was just curious what it takes to be one .
Its true. I my self thought onec. How could it be that my reseller site not working. LOL. Every thing fine. So for reseller go to - R.DomainDotInfo.com
hmm, i am interested in what it takes to become a direct ICANN reseller, not reseller reseller. Is there anyone that know about ICANN resellers ?
ICANN pics a party to handle all of the different TLDs. VeriSign is in charge of the .com, .net, .tv . All Registrars get them from them and pay a flat rate which just went up in Oct.
This is where you want to go to find out more information. http://www.verisign.com/information-services/naming-services/page_002302.html Just do beware its a lot of money up front to start up!
I think you're a bit confused. The cost to registrars for .com is somewhere in the neighborhood of $6.25 and this is paid to Verisign. ICANN is just the organization that oversees the core registries such as Verisign. They charge $.20 for this service or the lack thereof. So the lowest you could possibly get to is in the ballpark of $6.45 and this is after spending loads of money as someone mentioned earlier. Where the confusion may have come in is the estimated costs of $.03-.04 per domain that Verisign pays for operating expenses. Which is why the yearly price increase is a complete joke.
