Thanks for the responses to this (didn't mean to start a flame war), I didn't realize they were doing it at a loss. It was just a valid concern, not too worried about it, more curious than anything.

Opensrs and all registrars pay VeriSleaze $6. per domain.

I'll bet you a case of Canadian beer that Opensrs is charging rackshack more than that.

This is why people know rackshack is taking a loss.

So rackshack gets their domains from tucows? How do you know they are taking a loss, maybe they just sell them for what they buy them for.

Rackshack are selling domains at a loss.  Yes they get special pricing
from Tucows, but no where near the $5 they are retailing them at.  It's
all a marketing ploy.  Sell you dirt cheap domains in the hope that they
can sell you a dedicated server, as that is their main business.  They
are doing the same thing with secure certs.  They sell them at a loss
also.

Great for Tucows, as they still make profit.

Subject: rackshack how can we compete?



Is opensrs going to at least give us resellers the same price as rackshack is selling retail?
