I'm working on a rails app to help people create websites, similar to weebly, but focused on a specific niche. I want to make it as easy as possible for my customers to buy a domain name through the app. Can anyone recommend a domain registrar with a great reseller program/api? Are there any rails plugins that could speed up development of this piece of the app? Anything I should look out for? Thanks!

#2We use Register.com, which was recommended to us by the awesome Weebly guys. The API is excellent and their developer support people are top-notch. Domains are pricey (though not as bad as it looks when you look at their retail prices), but everything works very well.

#3enom has a pretty decent API. You do need to buy credit in advance. I think it was around $200. As people register domains through your site, the money gets deducted from your account.

#4Just avoid Network Solutions. They have an atrocious history regarding their users. If you want details, google them and see what comes up.
