I'm simply here to leverage the ideas of a group whose passion is all about domains and registrars for ideas that I might not be thinking about.
Situation: We have bare metals in large data centers. Because of our other businesses, people asked us to make their web stuff go away and just send them an invoice. We've done their sites, SEO work, etc. We've been doing this forever including buying all of the domain names for them from our two enom master accounts. This all started long ago before there was whois protection. (actually when one guy did domains for the web) What is good about what we have is when we setup new or shuffle sites between servers, the customer does not know or care. The enom control panel was the best when we first went with them. It works great for changing things in bulk. It's easy for us to approve changes. These corporations are our friends. They trust us completely, and don't want the web to be a thought that distracts them from what they do. Some already have automated backdials before answering, send some to voicemail automatically, or require a code or credit card to talk to anyone.
Problem: I don't want to own their domains anymore. It's not in their best interest and we don't want to have a business that owns us. Clients don't want to hear about it when we change their name servers to new servers.
Goal: Have the users have their own accounts, and I can still easily manage them without generating Emails to the owner of the corporation where it would end up in his spam, or him not want to be bothered by something that annoys him. Some of them don't turn on their computers for weeks at a time. They don't care if I have their user name and password, in fact for customers with their own registrars, they ask us what their password is once in a while when they have to renew, use their web site control panel, and often get calls from them for their Email password when they get new cell phone. That means no Reseller Club, GoDaddy, or Network Solutions where they run you through their upsell fun house when the only reason they want is to renew, which we also do for them from time to time. Obviously I could create their accounts under my reseller account or create them on enom and push them.
Summary: Your registrar recommendations don't have the be the cheapest, and gimmicks and deals count for as negatives. They simply want to respond to a renewal page after they get a notification to renew, or more likely when their Email stops working, and renew their domain, at a price that is close to what they paid the time before. We do work from time to time with accounts on GoDaddy, NameCheap, NameSilo, and Uniregister, Network Solutions, etc., but like once every year or two. enom is the one we know. The only one I hated with a passion is OpenSRS.
Thanks!
