Hi Matt, Having written sites to integrate with a couple of other registrars API's in the past, I can say without question that setting up for OpenSRS is a piece of cake. Comparatively speaking, that is. It really is quite simple once you get the hang of how they structure their client code. And this is coming from a guy who, while I can write it just fine, HATES PERL with a passion! As for sales averages, that's really dependant on your marketing, so I wouldn't want to comment there.
Good luck. Hope your (possible) integration goes smoothly. -Mark Mark Petersen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Planet Nic http://www.planet-nic.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Rudderham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2003 6:25 PM Subject: General Sales Questions > Hi Everyone, > I'm somewhat new to list the list, I've been following it for a > few weeks now.
