Regarding GoDaddy Resellers

[Numeit]

Hey Guys
I recently reg'd a domain with a godaddy reseller but now i think i have done wrong.The reasons im worried are:If the resellers go out of business do i lose the domains and can i push a name from a reseller to godaddy?

Reseller

If GD reseller goes out of business you domain is OK. It goes to a generic Wild West Reseller Acct. (Wild West is the reseller branch of GD) It will still work fine.


However - NO PUSHES - to anyone except another account at that reseller.
Godaddy treats Wild West and every reseller as a seperate company.
To me this is one of the big flaws of the GD Reseller deal.

I am sure GD has their reasons for this but being able to move names would sure make it a better deal.

I'm curious about this as well, but regarding eNom resellers. Is there any way (without paying the transfer fee) to move the domain from the reseller account to a main eNom account?

eNom resellers are integrated with enom itself, so u can log-in from the main enom site.

If you are not the reseller, contact your reseller to ask him to push the name for you.

Ah, thank you for that. Just I registered two domains at SparkNames.com, and am under the impression that they are an eNom registrar. However saying the functionality of their site was bad would be an understatement.
Would I need to create a new account at eNom.com if I were to ask for them to be pushed?
Thanks for all your help,
Harry.

Yes, you need to have an enom account, however you better to have a discount account under a reseller otherwise the pricing is quite high.
I don't know snapname systems but there might be a chance to login enom by using the ID they provide you. Then you don't need bother any pushes.

I'm not really sure, I just signed up at eNom using the same username as with SparkNames, and it said nothing about that name already being in use. I can't seem to see anything on their site either.
Thanks for the help anyway, it is much appreciated.
