Looking for a domain name reseller
This one is proving really illusive. I can't find a decent domain name reseller who fits my following criteria:
- No, or small sign-up fee (don't mind anything up to $99)
- Cheap domain names (or reasonably cheap), none of that $40 a domain name rubbish
- Must be able to register .co.uk
- Must be able to transfer .co.uk in and out
- Control panel driven
- Preferably not working on a stupid points system
I thought GoDaddy's Wild West Domains would be the one, but they don't accept transfers in or out of .co.uk domains.
eNom are just too expensive and work with points.
Anyone out there have any recommendations?

Sorry, but have you searched Google?

I looked extensively and there was nothing suitable, so in the end I had to go back to eNom. They use a crappy point system for some reason, but as I wanted to keep money in my domains (re-invest) it proved not to be a problem.
They let me transfer in .co.uk names and they let me earn points on all purchases including renewals.
The reason I started this search was that 123-reg.co.uk's affilliate scheme was rubbish. They only awarded new registrations and that was it!
Since then they have not updated their scheme and I am gradually moving all of my names away from them (over 140 names and counting).

I'm really surprised that you don't like the eNom system. We've been using it for quite some time and its been nothing short of excellent.
Not sure I follow what you mean about the points system as I tend to ignore that and just concentrate on the $ balance...
If you need a $8.95 account by the way I can supply one as well as a discounted copy of awbs.com which is what we use for reselling domains. We're a distributor of the software in case you're wondering

I have been using eNom for a while now and I do like it. The initial off-put was the point system but that is now forgotten.
I am using NameZoom for my eNom portal, thanks.

Cool
I'm in the process at the minute of writing my own system using ColdFusion and the eNom API. Its incredibly powerful and one of the other reasons I went with eNom...
