Be Your Own Registrar, Rebel.com Makes It Possible |
Domain registrar Rebel.com recently launched MyRebel.com, a new service that allows domainers to all but officially become an ICANN-accredited registrar. Users of the service gain registrar-level control over their domains including all the registry commands that are normally reserved for the registrar.
The company is banking on the service taking off by giving domainers more control and better pricing over domain names. Some of the perks that come with being a virtual registrar include registrar-level pricing, security checks to prevent domains from being transferred or deleted without approval, and command-line control over domains, including those to register, delete, and transfer domains. Users also are given access to all registry emails and notifications.
Dave Chiswell, CEO of the Ottawa-based Canadian company, said, “The rising value of domain names, together with the risk of incomplete WHOIS data, a wrong email address, or the distraction of managing a large portfolio across too many registrars, have recently confirmed the need to move not only to a centrally controlled solution, but one that includes control of the registrar.
