    DirectNIC, would you recommend them?

    Hi,

    I'm looking to consolidate a lot of my domains that are with 3 registrars to a single registrar (.com, .ca, .ws, .nu, etc...). It appears DirectNIC can offer what I need and I especially like the ability to lock domains to avoid unauthorized transfers so I'm just looking to see if anyone has had bad experiences with them. Looking for move about 50+ domains. Price isn't an issue, more of reliability/trust.

    Thanks

              DirectNic has had problems in the past with thier databases. I lost a few domains over it and moved everything to godaddy.

              Thats only my expierience and I'm sure they fixed the database problem since then.

                  They've got my vote....

                  Can't really say I've gone anywhere else, but why change a good thing.

                          I'd recommend a good enom Reseller instead. Some offhand:

                              I have used them for a while and I have had no complaints

                              if you do use them, make sure you have security set to HIGH

                                  Basically when you deal with Opensrs your almost always dealing with a reseller and Opensrs will not get involved when your reseller trys to hijack your domains.

                                  And when you do deal with a reseller the reseller is actually the one who can control your domains.

                                      Directnic is solid. No problems there and been with them for 2 years.

                                                          You just said it then .. if your with them direct your ok. But through resellers the resellers have control over your domain even if the domain is registered to you directly.

They offer excellent domain portfolio management, great security, auto-renewal, 'protected' mode prevents against transfers. They offer complete DNS management. It's extremely convenenient, redundant and fast updates. I've been able to switch servers before and have it update a few minutes later to the new server all from within registrars control.

                                                                      I've also had them help out folks that weren't even registered thru them before when situations arose.

                                                                      Good guys.

They offer excellent domain portfolio management, great security, auto-renewal, 'protected' mode prevents against transfers. They offer complete DNS management. It's extremely convenenient, redundant and fast updates. I've been able to switch servers before and have it update a few minutes later to the new server all from within registrars control.
                                                                                      Same here. I have used DirectNIC for like 3 years as well. No problems. A scare once with the security stuff, but it's set to high now and secure as hell.

                                                                                                                                              Basically when you deal with Opensrs your almost always dealing with a reseller and Opensrs will not get involved when your reseller trys to hijack your domains.

                                                                                                                                              *** I suggest you don't listen to anyone who can't get thier facts straight, and know the right company he is talking about. Pro Hosters deals with SRSPlus. Didn't you used to work their Mark?

                                                                                                                                              Noone tried to hijack your domains.
                                                                                                                                              And when you do deal with a reseller the reseller is actually the one who can control your domains.

                                                                                                                                              SRSPlus wouldn't do anything because of fraud.

They're not the least expensive, but if you buy using the Quantity discounts, you can save $$$. And as KK pointed out, having the owners in the adult biz AND the fact that they AREN'T resellers, is just icing on the cake!

                                                                                                                                                          Basically when you deal with Opensrs your almost always dealing with a reseller and Opensrs will not get involved when your reseller trys to hijack your domains.

                                                                                                                                                          And when you do deal with a reseller the reseller is actually the one who can control your domains.
                                                                                                                                                          Well if you deal with an OpenSRS reseller, the service is only as good as the reseller.

Get your own OpenSRS account and buy your domains that way. It takes a little paperwork, and
