Agreed entirely regarding break even point of becoming a registrar
yourself. I was briefly involved with the industry some years ago
and from memory, at that time, there were only so many licenses
going around. So, even if you were cashed up and willing to bend
over Chris Disspain's desk it wasn't always trivial to pick one up.<br>
<br>
FWIW - The example volume I gave before was for illustrative
purposes and more in response to the "WAAAHHHHH, USE AN AUSTRALIAN
PROVIDER BECAUSE AUSTRALIAN PROVIDER" brigade than anything else =)<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I suppose this is where you then look
at the potential (if managing thousands of domains) on simply
attempting to become a registrar yourself. It has been a while
since I've looked at the policy / eligibility / process of doing
so, but at what point is it tipped to make it worth being your
own registrar?<br>

That's the classic argument, right? Pay an Australian provider
twice as much for the same thing because you'll allegedly get
local support...<br>
<br>
OTOH, ($15.00 * 5,000 Domains) == $75,000 off your bottom
line... Put me on hold, shut up and take my money! =)<br>
