What is the difference between the Retail  & Reseller sub-accounts of ENOM?

The main differences among the Sub -accounts are how they pay for registrations, what information the accounts have access to, and whether or not they have reseller options.

RETAIL SUB ACCOUNT
==================
When a sub-account is created by default, it is a Retailer sub-account.

* ENOM will bill their credit card on file for every transaction on the behalf of Account Holder who created the Retail account.
* You (the parent account) will pay 3% sales fee and a 95 cent transaction fee for every order
* Retailer’s do not have access to create sub-accounts, Registry Rocket sites, the PDQ, and they cannot download the API sample scripts.
* Parent Account can view, edit and manage account information as well as make changes to domains.

RESELLER SUB ACCOUNT

* Reseller Account Holders have to refill their account to pay for domain regiistration or domain transfer orders with minimum $100 (refill fees are paid by the sub account holder).
* The Parent Reseller does not pay any fees
* Each Transaction is deducted from the Reseller sub-account balance
* They can download the API, setup Registry Rocket links, create a PDQ and create sub-accounts
* Reseller sub-accounts can use their own merchant services for the API (they cannot use eNom merchant services).
* The Parent Reseller Holder can view domains in the reseller sub-account; however you cannot make any changes to the account information or domains in the account.

For both types of accounts, The Parent Reseller is responsible for any chargebacks and for notifying the RiskManagement@enom.com department, if you detect fraudulent transactions.

What is a Domain Name ?

Computers connected to the Internet have unique numerical addresses so that electronic information is delivered to the right place. The domain name system (DNS) translates the numerical addresses of computers into more user-friendly names. The resulting domain names are easier to remember and help people to find information on the Internet. A name that identifies an IP address is called a Domain Name. Domain names are used in URL’s to identify particular Web Pages. Every domain name has a suffix that indicates which level domain (TLD) it belongs. Domain names are classified into Top Level Domain, Second Level Domain, Third Level Domain & Fourth Level Domain.

• Top Level Domain : A top-level domain is the highest level of domain names in the root zone of the Domain Name System of the Internet.
• Second Level Domain : A second-level domain (SLD) is a domain that is directly below a top-level domain (TLD). E.g .co.uk.
• Third Level Domain : A third level domain is written directly to the left of the second level domain.
• There can be fourth and fifth level domain.
• Generic Top Level Domain :  The core group of generic top-level domains consists of the com, info, net, and org domains. In addition, the domains biz, name, and pro are also considered generic, however, these are designated as restricted, because registrations within them are require proof of eligibility within the guidelines set for each.
• CC-Top Level Domain : A country code top-level domain (ccTLD) is an Internet top-level domain generally used or reserved for a country.
