people either get duped into it, they are cheap, or they dont know any better pretty much. I host my domains with Godaddy. A lot of people say godaddy sucks etc etc. If you are mailing or your domain, or doing something that might warrant complaints. Maybe godaddy isn't for you. I personally use them because of the stability. I do not have any issues of godaddy being a maze of puzzles. It works perfectly fine for me, yes they have a ton of prechecked cross sales etc. But its not hard to uncheck them, or if you call back when you get billed for it. they will refund you without questions. This has happened to me a few times where i didnt uncheck the cross sale by accident. I always got my money back instantly. Also. They arent going out of business tomorrow. I used to host all my domains with RegisterFly for quite a number of years. They were a smaller company based out of NJ I believe. I believe they lost there ICANN standings and it wasnt long before they were basically out of business holding on to peoples domains. I got lucky and got mine out before any disasters, but I have heard some stories.

Godaddy is a huge company where domains is there business and I am not affraid of going out of business.

:pimp namecheap UP , godaddy sucks !

BEWARE! NameCheap runs many registrations through eNom
 

Even though NameCheap is ICANN accredited, they run many, if not most, domain registrations through eNom...

In those instances, eNom possesses the domain ... and despite one being a NameCheap customer, eNom policies ultimately control - that has burnt some NameCheap customers who found their domains put under registrar-hold (NameCheap can't override) by eNom.

People will not listen to reason.

they actually register ALL domains through Enom. Namecheap has about 100 domains registered through Namecheap for testing their back end, but the rest all get registered through Enom at this point.

nothing wrong with enom, never had issues

same here fris, love namecheap and enom alike.

just another WebAir success thread...

That stinks man. I use namecheap. Awesome service!

BTW, Godaddy also calls me about 5 times, from 3 months in advance of when a domain is going to expire. Then send you many many emails, and still give you plenty of time after it expires to get it back. Would I recommend GD for hosting. Not likely, but for domains. I have used name cheap, moniker, and a few other registrars after buying domains. I have always transferred them out.

I agree 100% with the entire post.

Agreed. I'm actually sticking up for webair here, pointing out that (as evidenced by my own experience related above) it's a situation where they, and any other registrar, pretty much have no say in the matter... unless they want their nameservers blacklisted, which will lead to a large portion of the internet suddenly not being able to resolve the registrar's customer's domains.

:thumbsup

this isnt a negative towards webair, but doesnt matter what host, i would never register a domain with a webhost registrar, or any whitelabel.

Thanks for the warning.

My domains are still down. But hey, it have only been a couple of days right?
The live-support keeps telling me that they've added "notes" to the domain-department "so they will get back to you soon". I wonder how many days "soon" is.

I dont use Webairs nameservers or their IPs for these 2 domains.

Enom facilitated the theft of one of my domains registered there. Someone paid via PayPal which got reversed due to supposed compromised PP account. Enom does freeze domains for 7 days after a push, so all they had to do was freeze it longer while PayPal was investigating, or gosh...I dunno, investigate it themselves since one of their customers was a thief. They did NOTHING. The thief transferred it out and Enom never did a damn thing to stop it. Had been a customer for years until that happened but now they're easily my least favorite registrar since that time.

Same in my situation, my dom was pointed at the whitelabel program's name servers and IP.

There is a threat, implied or otherwise, that if the registrar does not comply and suspend the domain(s) in question then they'll be blanket banned. Doesn't matter where your domain sits, they just want it suspended.

Exhibit A for your pleasure....

my 2 cents:
I have domains at several different registrars (Fabulous, Moniker, Godaddy, Namecheap, Name,... and Webair).

When using a registrar there's always some kind of risk involved:

Namecheap is only a reseller and has had problems in the past with its whoisprivacy service. Namecheap also prevents you from registering or transferring domains that contain certain keywords. There's also the issue of LegitScript and Namecheap taking down pharma domains run by Canadians and aimed at Canadians because LegitScript claimed those sites could potentially be used by US based customers to buy meds.

Godaddy has its own share of horror stories. The seclists.org fiasco is one of them.

Moniker is no longer the company it once was. For example, last year they accidentally dropped the whoisprotection on a few hundred of my domains. They didn't even apologize.
...


I put my domains in several different baskets to spread the risk and for seo reasons. While I'm aware of the hosting problems mentioned in this thread, I still use Webair as a registrar for a decent part of my network. So far I've not yet had any problems. of course there's thing i wish they would do differently, things I wish they would change about their control panel. But then again, I have the same remarks about most of the other registrars I use.

Would I recommend Webair's dedicated servers? I have no experience with them so I can't.
Would I recommend Webair as a registrar? yes, I would.

Wow dude, that fucking sucks. :boid "soon"

Fabulous has always been solid.

Still down.

Webair said the domain-support would call within 3 hours. This was about 7 hours ago.

Bunch of fuckwits at Webair. Still operating of past Bro Credit.

:Oh crap

Thanks! :thumbsup


:1orglaugh

The silence is deafening.

I just got a SMS!
From a friend, he told me he looked at a nice ass, then he discovered that it was a 12 yo boy and he asked me if he now was gay and a pedophile. :1orglaugh

Nothing from Webair yet.

so what, have you been just playing asshole here or what? it is working days here, do you sleep or just steal? are you fucking theves or what? can you get us some asnwer after one week of this message? hey, can you wakt up and stop wasting business of people who are paying you for your service? are you fucking serious? hey!!! can you get your ass in here and give emil some answers?

so webair do not care about business of their paying clients? good to know ...

:thumbsup

LOL still no contact?

This is bad even by Webair standards.

:thumbsup


I've been in contact with the regular support several times but there is also a support section for the domains-department and I cant get a hold of them.

The regular webair-support have sent them my tickets and escalated them, added notes to them and so on but still no contact from them.

Does webair internal not actually handle the domains side and outsources it to some third party? Else why couldn't someone just go slap someone?

Yeah, I dont know. They do probably outsource it..
