Crazy Domains Reseller Program
To be fair, 1. These are not court cases.they are a tribunal of sorts.usually the 'magistrate' is a local solicitor (my solicitor used to sit in the CTTT magistrates chair regularly in Newcastle) 2. I wonder if they lost both cases because of jurisdiction? I guess as a reseller of Dreamscape, this is something i worry most about too.
I don't like the idea that my commission is held by an offshore company in some place like UAE and i have to place my faith in the hands of those who should not be trusted.not a great feeling really. Why is it in life.those who demonstrate a history of untrustworthyness demand, and most often seem to get, advance service or payment from those of us who are trying our absolute damnedest to be honest.only to be ripped off by them??? I see a there is a flood of complaints regarding Crazy Domains emerging. A quick look shows they even changed their name at the start of financial year – Main Name:WEB ADDRESS REGISTRATION PTY LTD ABN:95 154 051 699 ACN:154 051 699 Entity Status – ASIC:Registered Entity Type – ASIC:Australian Proprietary Company Entity Class – ASIC:Limited By Shares Registered Date: Entity Status – ATO:Active ABN is Current:Yes Entity Type – ATO:Australian Private Company GST Effective From: Locality:6006 WA Abn:9 Previous Main Name:CRAZY DOMAINS PTY LTD from to Perhaps this change of name has contributed to why actions against them have been foiled so far??? Its looks like they had their day in court and lost so it probably means that they could not prove their case – i doubt that anyone from crazydomains even turned up to a tribunal hearing. So many complaints on this forum about crazydomains but there are plenty of good australian companies who offer the same service with good support – it will cost more but its worth it.
For people who want things really cheap then you get what you deserve when things go wrong with little sympathy from the service providers who use this forum.

They aren't cheaper anyway, if you need the extras like DNS hosting (add $18 per year) for example, where most providers give it to you for free. I think you will find many resellers (including myself) run their own DNS servers for technical reasons anyway. That said I would be interested in knowing who is cheaper than $20.00 for.com.au without any kind of annual fee.

The CrazyDomains.com reseller storefront lets you start selling right away. With over 50 products, you can make money easily. Read more This company has claimed its Trustpilot. Experience in Domain Name reseller Webhost environment in their. CSR's at Crazy Domains was.
TPP Wholesale – nope VentraIP – nope ($149 annual fee) uberglobal – unsure (may be monthly costs?).com.au is $20 intaserve – definitely more expensive and was with them before dreamscape, most useless domain registrar ever, constant problems with their systems. Another important aspect for me is decently priced TLDs as well – lots of aussie wholesalers seem to drop the ball in this area, dreamscapes $9.com is quite competitive. Have I missed anyone? I have been a austdomains / dreamscape reseller for about 4 years now and have only had issues with their very slow / useless customer service. Hey Jay, do you have any problems getting paid your comissions by these guys? I am most worried about getting paid. I am not sure entirely which side of the line i stand on in relation to their services.as it would seem that lost of others oversell and have unexplained outages too.
I am simply of the view that my customers should at least be able to choose a 100% Australian hosting network and know that it exactly what they are getting (hence my signing up with Ventra) Having said that, i am finding it a real pain that the only decent re-seller front ends i have with my accounts at present are supplied by Dreamscape and WWD. For example, my WWD front end in its default configuration is absolutely awesome. Unfortunately i can put it live with my.com until after 21st January as i inadvertantly registered the.com with crazy. Who of course want to charge me for dns hosting in order to get that site live. I would like to try Uber.but the cost of becoming one of their re-sellers seems prohibitive for someone like me who is starting out (am i mistaken in thinking its in the order of almost $1000 per year???). That said I would be interested in knowing who is cheaper than $20.00 for.com.au without any kind of annual fee.

As far as I know CrazyDomains prices do not include GST, which is part of the reason they got smacked from auDA. So are any of the above $22 or less so you can compare apples and apples.
I think there's plenty of options at that price. The fact they are running their bogus network of companies out of Dubai to avoid tax, at some point the ATO will have a good look at them.
Imagine the meltdowns of DIT+Bottle x about 1000 if it all goes pear shaped. That's odd, the normal feedback we get from the wholesale system is the opposite. I'm sure the API is fine but I don't sell many domains so it doesn't really suit me. Dreamscape was good because they had a system where I could set my sell prices and customers could register and pay for domain names via an interface that was hosted by dreamscape but under my own sub domain. It's not a big deal as most domains I manually managed but a few customers would self serve themselves with the system saving me some time. Another thing from the quick look I had there doesn't seem to be any concept of 'accounts' where a user owns multiple domains – this means they only have one set of credentials if they have 10 domains.
Another thing is (and this is probably just a benefit of dreamscapes lax security) all emails sent by the domain system were logged in the admin panel which allowed me to click on the approve transfer link for customers who had requested their domain be transferred to me but their contact details were old and I didn't realise until after I started the transfer. Obviously all these benefits are meaningless compared to the dodgeyness of the company with regards to GST status and also numerous security breaches. I just want to give credit where credit is due – I personally think Dreamscape's reseller system did pretty much anything anyone could ever want bar DNS hosting.
That's odd, the normal feedback we get from the wholesale system is the opposite. Below is merely an observation of mine.nothing more.It has absolutely no bearing on the QUALITY of service and support offered by any of the businesses talked about in this post. (apart from the crazy's of course.we already know where we all stand on that ^^) WWD for example offer resellers a list of products/services to onsell to clients that almost match the retail site exactly.
When one loads up the reseller console for the first time, it is very comforting to see a matching list (and appropriate wholesale pricing) side by side with another browser window displaying the Godaddy retail site. I really really wish that this same practice was spread across all wholesalers.so that their resellers were able to offer the exact same plans and packages as the retail division of the parent company! In defense of Australian wholesalers.one can easily walk up to their front door, knock on it.and get help! (figuratively speaking to a large extent of course). Cant do that when there's a few thousand miles of Ocean between you and them (and in the crazy's case.a bit of desert with a few crazy's.err. I betta stop right there!!!
I just want to give credit where credit is due – I personally think Dreamscape's reseller system did pretty much anything anyone could ever want bar DNS hosting. WWD = even better. I have both dreamscape and WWD reseller systems. WWD is wayyyy better than dreamscapes. If i were to try to put a price on the reseller website visuals.its easily worth double (and i reckon thats probably reflective of the quality and functionality behind it too) BUT. BIG downside.dont go for WWD.their resellers cannot hold, transfer, register, poo on.
Oops ^^),.au's. Interface that was hosted by dreamscape but under my own sub domain. That would be a reseller based store front, which we're looking into this year but it may or may not happen as we've got the API and WHMCS modules already available.
This means they only have one set of credentials if they have 10 domains. Thats correct. We don't have any plans to offer individual logins except per domain at this time. All emails sent by the domain system were logged in the admin panel which allowed me to click on the approve transfer link for customers who had requested their domain be transferred The registrant should be the one approving the transfer. In cases with auDA transfers have been reversed because a reseller approved all the transfers without approval from the registrant so we can't show the approval links to the reseller. If you have any questions just let me know.:).
