Warning: If your EstDomain acct. was moved to Resellerclub:

[Domainace]

I just made the unpleasant discovery that I cannot freely push my ResellerCLub domains to a non-member of ResellerClub. I became a Resllerclub member for free when they took over for EstDomains. I recently sold a .com name, and the buyer cannot join Resellerclub without a large deposit. Nor can I transfer, since I only got the domain last month.

Reseller said they would allow a transfer to answerable.com for a charge roughly equivalent to renewal fee, and throw in a "free" renewal. However, if I understand correctly, the renewal only kicks in if the domain hasn't been renewed within the past 2 or 3 months. That's why they don't offer free transfer and simply charge for renewal. Either way, they keep the money.

Don't know how I will work this out, but I hope to warn others:

If your Estdomains have been transfered to Resellerclub, and you didn't open a reseller account, you cannot push them to anyone except reseller account holders.

I'm gonna have one pissed off buyer.

I know how you can solve this problem,
just create account at other resellerclub reseller,
like whiz.in or wsdreg.com and now you will have free resellerclub account for your buyer

They suggested that (using answerable) I thought. But then said a one year renewal was mandatory, as it was a transfer, not a push.

The buyer was good about it, but has asked for a total refund, so I have the name again. I may try to push to my whiz account and see what happens.

Thanks.

When all the troubles first became apparent with estdomains last year i started to move my names, having sent many tickets to them all were finally moved away from them. They all have a new home now But would also say ----- it was first highlighted here on NP about the troubles and thanks to members here, got so great advice

With .IN soon to be offered at GoDaddy I guess that Directi will lose a lot of names. This does, of course, depend on the price they're offering.

I have heard some reg companies are going to be doing promo on new reg and renew as well, but i guess people will go with who they feel safe with

That's true. The problem with me is that from my point of view there are currently two choices: Directi at $13 (or $3.50 a year ago) or Enom at $20. With a few names I would definitely go with Enom (for security/interface, etc.) but the problem is that the difference in price, when dealing in bulk, makes a significant impact on profits. As a result, I have all my .INs at Directi. Ideally, however, I could move them all over to Enom if they were to have a promo.
