Simple Domain registration APIs?
Hi all,
I am currently creating a site where, as part of it, I want a user to be able to choose and register a domain name. So far, the only way I've found to implement this is to sign up for one of various reseller accounts and they all want several hundred dollars of deposit or other payments. They all seemed to be geared towards hosting resellers too.
Does anyone know a really simple service I can use where I sign up and get charged on a pay-as-you-go basis?
Thanks in advance.
- cscotta 16y agoI've looked around for something like this quite a bit. The best I found were via eNom, InternetBS, and GoDaddy - but they were all pretty terrible and / or felt skeezy. If you find something good, let us know!
- carlio 16y agoInternetBS seems to be what I want - minimal setup fees - so I'll give it a whirl. Thanks for the tip. As for something better, if I find (or make!) something I'll let you know.
- schindyguy 16y agoContact the guys at domai.nr I've talked with them before. They have a integration with godaddy that is able to check availability and earn a comission if the user buys a domain name through the service. They also use 101domain for obscure .nr, .ly., etc TLDs

- schindyguy 16y agoIt's defintely not an API though. It's just a affiliate link. If you go with Internetbs, you are limited to only the TLDs they use. Hope that helps.
- dnsworks 16y agoYou might talk to @chrislunt about this. I know that he went through the ringer evaluating options with his last start-up, Nombray.
