There are now several layers to eNoms reseller program.

No eNom reseller can create an account below $8.95 except for DRAMS & ModernBill as these 2 companies have a special deal where they can but we are not allowed to say more...

eNom directly now "sells" their reseller accounts at varying pricing structures, $8.95, 7.95 and 6.95. They are truly all free except that the better account require a larger deposit up front. Your deposit instantly credits to the amount of domains you have available to register.

The best way to get an account is to go through eNom, DRAMS or ModernBill. Any account will require a minimum initial deposit of $100 to begin registering domains via the base line price, otherwise you will incur a processing fee of 0.95 + 3.5% per transaction and will have to pay by CC.

Some people still have accounts that were created before the restriction on pricing, these accounts will already have a pre-selected username. It's usually hard to verify these accounts until after you have purchased one, unless the seller is willing to give you the username so that you may contact eNom and verify the pricing.
