Regustrar that offers most International Extensions?

[XE|Sebastian B.]

Can anyone point me out to a registrar they might know of that offers the most international top level extensions, such as .de or .co.uk

Or an equivalent service that can take care of a large number of domain names that have a variety of extensions...

Thank you,

Sebastian

If you're looking for a registrar you can become a reseller for, check out "resellerclub.com" ... part of DirectI.com's program. The registrar is their "white paper" registrar, Public Domain Registry, Inc., so you are in not in direct competition with them. I'm a reseller for them at their top level, so quite a few of the domains are under $7 for me.

Well i took a look at godaddy, but they dont offer the range of ccTLDs i am looking for, (i have a serious international collection). The reseller option sounds interesting as that company offers many ccTLDs, however all i really need is a provider that can consolidate all these names for me.

Are there other options? For example domain name management services that can be hired to maintain a large amount of domain names, or some kind of software that i can use even to manage domains registered with different registrars...?

Thanks again,

The value of the reseller accounts is that you get the management features built in. The trick will be trying to find one that covers all the ccTLDs you want to carry. Do you have a list of them?

The other domain name provider I see mentioned a lot is eNom, but I understand there's an upfront financial commitment. Some places require you to fund an account, which you can then use for domain registration, etc. So you don't lose that amount, but if you don't have a lot of activity, your money can sit there for a while.

If the Resellerclub offerings are adequate ... I'm not sure they have ALL the ccTLDs you are looking for ... those of us that are already there can set you up as a sub-reseller without any kind of up-front investment. You can PM me for details; I'm at their steepest discount structure now so its pretty easy for me to be competitive for someone who wants the management features.

As far as a domain consolidation/management service, that's an interesting idea. I don't know of any off-hand that I could recommend.

Well, i dont have a full list. But among some of the harder to find domains that i need are

.ru (Russia)

.ae (United Arab Emirates)

.co.ee (Estonia)

I will have another look at reseller club.

Hmmm ... I don't see .ru, .ae or .co.ee listed there; they do have .eu for Europe and some other ccTLDs like .tv, .mn, etc. But not those.

The other option you might try is to set up something like phpCoin to manage the domains at the various registrars. It would at least remind you when you had to go to the registrar handling the .co.ee ccTLD and renew it. Still not very automatic, though!
