Caution Very cheap reseller wev, is this scam?


I found a new reseller web : domain2hot.com and their price is $3 per domain. He is the reseller of 4domains.com (reseller price is about $6.9)

I've tried to buy 1 domain at domain2hot.com and it works.

Anyone please check that reseller web, are they scam?

I've just checked 4domains is a real icann accredited company but I don't know how it's possible to create a reseller account on it.
domain2hot was registered by 4domains. What do you think about d2h domain control panel?
Do you have some problem with this domain?

The domain that I registred/bought on domain2hot.com is forexbuz.com, the price is $3

You can be reseller of 4domains.com by seeing this page : http://www.4domains.com/about/backroom.html (see the demo website)
I've tried to registred myself as a reseller there and got the reseller price is around $6-$7

I confuse, how can domain2hot.com (reseller of 4domains.com) set the price to $3? Is there any scam or tricky around?

I've tried to contact 4domains.com about this, but no respond from them

maybe it's a patner (or the same company) of 4domains.
I still absolutely love logicboxes control panel for its easy api tech.

- I have sent a message to domain2hot.com asking for information about their company since they don't have anything on their site.

- 4domains.com DOES have a reseller program, but you have to look around for it.

- at this point I think domain2hot.com is selling the domains at a loss so they can get new customers. It's a great idea and one that you see every once in a while. It's more common to see them selling at cost, or about $6 a year. Name.com was doing this after they launched their new site, but later raised their prices to be like most others. But if they lose $3-4 for every domain they sell, and when I looked you could register for 2 years for $6, then they may not be able to make any money and start having problems...!

I'm thinking about trying domain2hot.com, but I'm not going to buy a lot of cheap domains, or transfer my domains there only to be stuck if they go out of business. Then I would have to deal with 4domains.com and their prices are a little higher than I normally pay. They need to make contact with people so we know that we can trust them.
