Does anyone know of a good, cheap and reliable OpenSRS reseller that charges less than $14 per domain? I used to use 000domains but they have moved over to their own system and I would prefer to keep with OpenSRS.

OpenSRS is a reseller of Tucows if i am not wrong.
$10.00 is the cheapest you can buy a domainname from Tucows (That's the lowest price a reseller can charge, then they make 0 profit i think)
Check out this list:
Registrar Stats [www.]

There you have information about the reseller price which might help you select a cheap registrant

Not exactly. Actually, OpenSRS is Tucows; it's the name of their wholesale domain name registration service/platform. They also operate Domain Direct for retail sales. Other companies selling Tucows domains are resellers, or "Registration Service Providers."

Tucows does have volume pricing discounts, though they don't publicize it much or display information on pricing or the volume that would be necessary -- but there presumably are RSPs paying less than $10 to Tucows.

I think this is the unbroken URL from above Top ICANN Registrar Statistics [whois-source.com]

check this out too DMOZ Top Listeds Domains [whois-source.com]

other intense domain analysis [registrarstats.com...] and [dailychanges.com...]

you specifically asked for opensrs, but just so you know, ANY top level enom reseller can sign up you as a reseller for free (if they are so motivated) and you can buy domains with all the enom features for $8.95 (the other option is to drop $5000 on enom to get the $6.95 pricing) So far I have been very happy with that one-at-a-time situation from enom because you get all the other $5000 reseller features. Can't lose.

Why don't you simply become an OpenSRS RSP? You can use their web based quick start interface with a domain prepayment if just $500 and you then get the $10 pricing. Great interface and great support.
