Should I worry when it comes about domain reseller?

    Hy there
    I just found a guy, who has his own website with hosting and domain sell.
    He has some great prices for the .com per year, so I would like to ask you guys, it is some kind of scam?
    And, if I buy domains from him...should I worry about something like...he can take any of my registered domain names, at any given time he wants?
    And other question:
    He's only a reseller, and let's suppose, that he will end his business in 1-2 years...he will close his site and everything...what happens with my domain names registered with him?
    thanks for any help and advice...
    Cheers
    Alexx

    if they are not privately owned domains then I would go through someone reputable.
    Why take a chance on your golden domain?
    There isn't very much of a cost for domain registrations even at the most expensive outlets.
    Imagine finding that domain that hits and then you lose it.....
    I think the extra $5 is worth the safeguard

    so, you're trying to say, that if I register a domain to such a domain reseller, and he ends his business I will lose all of my domains?
    Should'nt these registered domains remain to the main domain registrar, and to have the possibility to continue using my domains?
    Thanks

    If you are planning to register lots of domain or you want to resell domains, then i think www.resellerclub.com is the best option for you. Its one of the best reseller focus registrar out there... i am using their service for the last 4 + years

    Indeed they should, but transferring a domain when you have someone's information is quite simple.

    Imagine the chaos Godaddy or someone could cause if they decided to.

    I have also thought about this but obviously they are a very big company and wouldnt do it (I hope)


    But as someone else has suggested go with someone like GoDaddy NameCheap etc all the big reputable companys just to make sure its in safe hands and great support etc.

    Before you buy domain from him,you better ask the seller whether he is ICann verified domain reseller.
    If its not,then don't buy from him coz you'll lose your domain when its goes bankrupt.
