Re: Domain Registration Costs.
The nominet costs you are looking at are direct registration, not becoming your own tag with electronic registration.
The £75 includes them doing all the data capture, sending certs etc. The more you register the cheaper it gets, so they are not selling at a loss just a very small profit, and small profits on many sales = £ÃÆ ’‚£Ãà¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£.

You need to become a member

£400
Then the costs of using the automaton

£5 per registration.

Looking at your post 3 you would need to be registering 160 names a year
400 / (7.50-5) = 160 before break even.
Unless you are selling loads of names looks like you are still better off using a third party.
