Please note that when you change nameservers it can take 12-36 hours for the change to become live or propagated across the Internet. The changes that you make described above in the "Hosts" section can be pre-configured, so they will take place as soon as the nameserver information has been updated in the whois database. Future changes or updates to website redirection and/or email forwarding with no changes in the nameservers may take only 1-4 hours to update (sometimes these changes are updates within 5-10 minutes) - because the information remains on the enom nameservers.

You should factor in credit card transaction fees when determining your reseller domain price to customers. The difference between your customer price minus your wholesale price plus transaction fees equals your commission. This is tracked in your account under Resellers / Subaccounts / Access Commission. You must also factor in credit card processing fees with the creation of a retail subaccount under your reseller account. If you integrate API on your site, you can choose to have Enom.com host your credit card processing or choose to use your our merchant account and billing system.
