I have a lot of domains and have been considering trying to establish a relationship with someone as a true reseller, not an affiliate. Anybody have any experience with this? My searches online always turn up affiliate programs.

Do you mean to renew them at lower prices? Or to sell your inventory of domain names?

If your looking to renew a bulk number of domains I'd take a look at SRS Plus, or Wild West. They quote low rates and they apply to single year registrations unlike some of the lower quoted prices out there.

SRS Plus is Network Solutions, probably the least popular comapany with resellers that I have seen. WildWest (GoDaddy) has a $100 per year fee which is a real deal killer IMHO and their interface is a bit annoying (at least to me).

For my 2 cents, Enom tends to get really good ratings from resellers, no nonsense interface (and no ads like godaddy/wildwest) you can easily "push" names for free between accounts, and you can get $7.95 pricing with no annual fees if you find the right deal (hint: ebay ;) ).

I've no personal experience with godaddy, but I have with SRSplus and I can say we havent had a problems with them. We currently have around 700 domains listed with them and are happy paying $7.95 per annum.

If you have 700 domains, you need to shop for the better pricing you easily qualify for.
You could be paying at least $1 less than you are, and that adds up over a year or two.

You might not even have to move if you show SRS you have been comparing,
the competition is so rough these days I bet they will discount for you.

We resell domains via a hosting business so strictly speaking those domains are not ours but some of our clients.

We've determined that moving would be likely to cause more hassle than its worth.
