📜 Plan description

📄 Editorial Review

eNom (est. 1997 by Paul Stahura ) operates primarily as a wholesale, white-label reseller platform for domains, email, and SSL certificates. Instead of competing with resellers, they stay in the background while partners (hosting companies, website builders, agencies, and service providers) sell these products under their own brand. The platform footprint is sizable, with millions of domains under management, tens of thousands of resellers, and customers served across 150+ countries. In January 2017, the company was acquired by Tucows for US$83.5 million.

Domains (registrations, transfers, and portfolio management)

For domain sales, eNom supports a large catalog of extensions (hundreds of TLDs, including country and niche options). Day-to-day operations can be handled in the eNom Control Panel with bulk tools, or automated through the API for tighter integration into a registrar/hosting storefront. Domain operations also include operational conveniences such as renewal notices and auto-renew workflows, which helps reduce the risk of accidental expirations and the downstream site/email disruption that can follow.

DNS Hosting and domain security add-ons

They bundle DNS hosting with domains registered through eNom, and also offer DNS hosting for domains registered elsewhere. DNS management covers common record types (A, CNAME, MX, TXT/SPF), and they support DNSSEC as an extra layer against DNS tampering and domain hijacking. For registrant privacy needs, they offer WHOIS Domain Privacy as a paid add-on.

Email hosting for resellers

eNom’s email product is designed as a low-cost mailbox service for resellers who want to attach business email to domains without operating their own mail infrastructure. Mailboxes are offered in multiple sizes, include a modern webmail experience, and support standard mail access methods (IMAP/POP). They also include operational controls for provisioning/suspending mailboxes via the Control Panel or API, plus practical deliverability features such as spam/virus filtering and abuse handling.

SSL certificates for customer site security

On SSL, they provide a curated catalog of certificates across common validation levels (DV, OV, EV) and popular formats like Wildcard and SAN certificates. This setup is useful for resellers that need a clean security upsell path—from basic HTTPS encryption through higher-assurance certificates for transactional or data-sensitive sites.

Integrations for hosting providers and SaaS platforms

For businesses already running a hosting stack, eNom supports integration via WHMCS, cPanel, Plesk, and Clientexec, enabling a single operational flow for domains and related services. For partners who want a lighter lift, eNom also sits within the wider Tucows ecosystem, including programs such as Hover Connect (domain purchase + DNS connection flow) and an alternative branded storefront path via the OpenSRS Storefront offering.

Based on historical product snapshots, eNom previously offered shared hosting (as of June 2020), but this service is no longer available in 2026.

Their Linux email portfolio also reflects a clear repositioning. Older tiers structured around mailbox counts (for example, 1 email, 10 emails, and 25 emails) have been rebranded into storage-based packages, such as 10GB, 25GB, and 50GB. This shift suggests a move away from user-count segmentation toward a capacity-oriented model that is simpler to communicate and aligns more directly with storage consumption.
