This topic is about the rest of the meeting...

We had some problems with the connection and he had a number of his team participating. I was impressed how eager they were to participate with us. I think they understand we are banding together under the DN.ca brand and we will be a force in the .ca namespace moving forward.

1. Number one for me was to get better pricing for our members, especially on renewal rates and Emil guaranteed he can match or beat anyone's price on renewals. I mentioned the $10.99 renewal at Canspace and he said no problems beating that for our members.

2. He said they use the same backend software as Canspace but they are building on top of it and he was eager to find out which bulk tools we needed to get the job done.

3. He is working on providing us with proper landing pages accessible right from our account.

4. Connecting the TBR and Domain account is a given.

5. From what I understand they are working on connecting a number of services similar to what godaddy is doing in their space.

6. We discussed an automated script to bulk domain moving. So it would be easy to move 1000 domains in if needed.

7. He offered WHC hosting services for dn.ca for free and given the hosting issues I had last week that would be nice.

8. I mentioned that we are looking for representatives from all companies in the Canadian space to join the forum and he was quite open to volunteering his crew.

9. He was against charging a subscription fee for wholesale pricing like godaddy does.

10. Looks to me like they want to be Webhost>Registrar>TBR>Wholesale>Domaining Services>Landers etc.

11. Looks like the other extensions are also in the works for better pricing.


Getting tired will post more soon...

I think we are in for some exciting times
 
Nice work Frank and thanks for laying the groundwork. I found their domain management not friendly but I will keep an open mind on that front and see how it all works out.
 
Who are they using for the other extensions? I presume tucows?
 
Thanks Frank for taking the time to speak to us the other day! It's great to finally be connecting with the Canadian domaining community.

As discussed with Frank, we'll be working hard in the next few weeks to earn your business and help make WHC the go-to place for easy .CA bulk domain management (including for transfer-ins), competitive rates, and a leading TBR system. If you manage more than 75 .CA domains please reach out to [notify]gassan[/notify] on this forum or directly to our sales team at WHC.CA for automatic Gold tier pricing on renewals without any additional "membership" fees.

As of last week, WHC has completed Sibername's ICANN accreditation's assignment process, so we are now officially ICANN accredited as well *DANCE* ! You can expect more exciting developments in 2021.

What specific improvements would you like to see in Sibername's current TBR system and what specific features do you look for or enjoy in a domain management platform? We want to build a better domain management system for everyone, so your feedback is appreciated and will help us prioritize features as we move into 2021.
