    What do you use for a domain registrar?

    Just saw Namecheap is undergoing a major overhaul. I host three domains with them now but I just hate GoDaddy, Bob Parsons, and everything they stand for. Their name is stupid, they supported SOPA/PIPA, and ridiculous "hunting excursions" into Africa. Done. With. Them.

    Any other recommendations? I've looked at Moniker which still feels antiquated. Namecheap seems to be the best option but I want to make sure I'm not overlooking any other good options.

    I'm in the USA, by the way.

        I use godaddy because of the best prices (with never ending coupons that is) for com names.
        I know it's popular to bash them and I sympathize with some of the claims, but I choose price in this case.

                Hey Baccybandit,

                When is the last time you tried to use our site? We had the issues you described when we first launched the new design but we have addressed most of them. In fact, our new checkout is much much faster than the old site now.

                In any case, I apologize for any inconvenience you experienced.

                Best,

                  Namecheaps new interface is plain and simple FUCKING STUPID!

                  Who designed it ? It is a bloody disgrace, your check out is so badly flawed now, whoisguard is missing from chekcout wtf is that idiotic shit about? It is not intuitive AT ALL!

                  Forget about bulk domain purchases, talk about a completely stupid *streamlined* process.

                  Streamline

                  The entire process has been completely destroyed.

                  High xxx domains with you guys and i'm totally pissed off with the new idiotic design. I have to contact live support each time to help me figure out where or what i need to do to complete a purchase or renewal. That is pretty streamlined, saves me sooo much time if i have to contact support EVERY single time I make a transaction with you guys!


                  Tell me why I should stay with NC now that you have basically destroyed the entire reg / renew process?

                      yup, namesilo is the most cheapest registrar, icann accredited, from usa

                      their interface is very simple and easy to use, the only minus - only a handful of extensions can be registered right now but who needs other shitty extensions anyway

                        I still prefer Namecheap, although their new interface will take some time getting used to maybe.

                            It's even cheaper if you keep a balance in there. I've basically migrated all of my domains from NameCheap, Dynadot, DirecNic, and Moniker to NameSilo and in the processing of migrating the GoDaddy ones to NameSilo as well.

                            For me, having a simple, efficient process for registrations, renewals and transfers is of utmost importance, along with quality of support. The fact they have a consistent pricing schedule and free whois privacy is certainly a nice addition.

                            All of these registrars trying to impress with a bunch of Ajax, Javascript, hidden sections only revealed on click, etc... usually end up making the process of domain management cumbersome moreso than efficient.

                            I like a nice simple interface, good support and efficient process. NameSilo beats all of the others by a country mile when it comes to simplicity and efficiency.

                            ETA, just went to NameCheap and my first impression is that it was an affiliate blog, not a Registrar. Once you spend a little time there, you realize it is indeed the registrar. I can see where some folks would get confused though.

                              Here's a few more domain registrars for you to enjoy.

                              I did not know of namesilo, the privacy package seems great. Are they trustable?

                              Have used godaddy before many years ago but stopped using them for various reasons.

                                          Hi Robwod - Pricing (no matter of the registrar) depends on volume - but I can offer discounted rates. You can go to eNom.com and (publicly) view the pricing but depending on volume would depend on the pricing I can offer you.

                                            I looked. And it's not exactly easy to see any of the prices unless you are a reseller and enroll into one of your reseller packages. I saw where .com's are $13.95 / yr to register. But I saw nowhere about the cost of domain transfer.

                                            While I have no doubt about eNom's integrity as a registrar, I take pause when the costs associated for registrations, add-ons (like WHOIS Privacy), renewals and transfers are not readily visible -- why hide it or make it difficult to find, you know?

                                            Am I just overlooking a page that lists all your prices? I can't find one.

                                            ETA: For the record, you were the ONLY reason I stayed at Moniker as long as I did. The day you left (which meant any sense of reasonable expectations of support left with you), I migrated everything out.

                                                While I have no doubt about eNom's integrity as a registrar, I take pause when the costs associated for registrations, add-ons (like WHOIS Privacy), renewals and transfers are not readily visible -- why hide it or make it difficult to find, you know?

                                                $13.95 is the standard pricing to register names but (depending on volume) I can offer additional discounts. Email me!

                                                  Hey George,

                                                  the add whoisguard feature is under recommended checkout settings but I can see where you are coming from. I will make sure this is added and made more visible to the cart flow asap. Can you tell me more about the .xxx issues? You can reach me at richard.k at namecheap.com

                                                  If anyone else here would like to make some suggestions on our cart flow or any other functionality, please make sure to reach out to me directly and I will make sure we try and address them as soon as possible. We are constantly looking for ways to improve.

                                                  If you have an issue with the general way our new design looks, unfortunately that will not be changing. While we've had some people take issues with it, the overwhelming majority absolutely love it and our sales, conversions and people's recommendations of us attest to that.

                                                  We will also be revamping our control panel so anything that bothers you now, please let me know so we can try to integrate that with our new release.

                                                  Thanks again to everyone who uses us. I am here at your disposal at any time.

                                                  Best,

                                                              It only takes a few minutes to create an account (and costs you nothing) at most registrars. Certain things will appeal to others that may not appeal to you, and vice versa. NameSilo has earned my business over the others such that I have left most of the registrars. BUT, what i like may not appeal to you.

                                                              Best thing is to just create an account at each one you are considering and browse around and just make your own opinion.

                                                              FWIW, my observations are this:

                                                              NameCheap: looks like a WordPress affiliate blog on first glance, not a registrar. If the frontend is indicative of what the forthcoming control panel will look like, then it's not something I'd likely bother with as I don't much care to click around to reveal hidden things.

                                                              GoDaddy: Domains are more expensive than they used to be, and they easily have the worst cluttered interface of the bunch. The idea of course is to get you to join the Domain Discount Club. Then there are the constant upsells. They do offer decent phone support though.

                                                              Network Solutions: still charging ridiculous prices for domains. But they do have a fairly nice control panel. For the price they charge, I would expect better support though than they offer.

                                                              NameSilo: completely uncluttered, straight-to-the-point interface and streamlined process for registrations, transfers and renewals -- with fully disclosed prices.

                                                              Moniker: Used to be a great registrar with great support. Then support seemed to only get done with Bari. Once she left for eNom, it was hit and miss with Moniker support, if you even managed to get a native English speaker you were lucky (I assume they switched to outsourced support).

                                                              Enom: I have not tried yet. I may consider giving Bari an email and see what she can do. I'll certainly not pay $13.95 for a domain registration which is apparently their standard .com registration.

                                                              Others here can likely give you their impressions of their favorite registrars. I have accounts at too many of them to list them all here.

                                                                their interface is very simple and easy to use, the only minus - only a handful of extensions can be registered right now but who needs other shitty extensions anyway
                                                                Not true, there are cheaper ones.

                                                                  [QUOTE=robwod;19973550]It only takes a few minutes to create an account (and costs you nothing) at most registrars. Certain things will appeal to others that may not appeal to you, and vice versa. NameSilo has earned my business over the others such that I have left most of the registrars. BUT, what i like may not appeal to you.

                                                                  Best thing is to just create an account at each one you are considering and browse around and just make your own opinion.

                                                                  FWIW, my observations are this:

                                                                  NameCheap: looks like a WordPress affiliate blog on first glance, not a registrar. If the frontend is indicative of what the forthcoming control panel will look like, then it's not something I'd likely bother with as I don't much care to click around to reveal hidden things.

                                                                  GoDaddy: Domains are more expensive than they used to be, and they easily have the worst cluttered interface of the bunch. The idea of course is to get you to join the Domain Discount Club. Then there are the constant upsells. They do offer decent phone support though.

                                                                  Network Solutions: still charging ridiculous prices for domains. But they do have a fairly nice control panel. For the price they charge, I would expect better support though than they offer.

                                                                  NameSilo: completely uncluttered, straight-to-the-point interface and streamlined process for registrations, transfers and renewals -- with fully disclosed prices.

                                                                  Moniker: Used to be a great registrar with great support. Then support seemed to only get done with Bari. Once she left for eNom, it was hit and miss with Moniker support, if you even managed to get a native English speaker you were lucky (I assume they switched to outsourced support).

                                                                  Enom: I have not tried yet. I may consider giving Bari an email and see what she can do. I'll certainly not pay $13.95 for a domain registration which is apparently their standard .com registration.

                                                                  Others here can likely give you their impressions of their favorite registrars. I have accounts at too many of them to list them all here.

                                                                  Good luck.

Moniker charges $4 a year. Sounds like nothing but when you have a ton of domains it kinda adds up.

Now most of my domains are at NameSilo (beacuse of better user interface, free whois protection and slightly better pricing). I like Name.com also but don't use it that much.

Certain things will appeal to others that may not appeal to you, and vice versa. NameSilo has earned my business over the others such that I have left most of the registrars. BUT, what i like may not appeal to you.

                                                                                        Best thing is to just create an account at each one you are considering and browse around and just make your own opinion.

                                                                                        FWIW, my observations are this:

                                                                                        NameCheap: looks like a WordPress affiliate blog on first glance, not a registrar. If the frontend is indicative of what the forthcoming control panel will look like, then it's not something I'd likely bother with as I don't much care to click around to reveal hidden things.

                                                                                        GoDaddy: Domains are more expensive than they used to be, and they easily have the worst cluttered interface of the bunch. The idea of course is to get you to join the Domain Discount Club. Then there are the constant upsells. They do offer decent phone support though.

                                                                                        Network Solutions: still charging ridiculous prices for domains. But they do have a fairly nice control panel. For the price they charge, I would expect better support though than they offer.

                                                                                        NameSilo: completely uncluttered, straight-to-the-point interface and streamlined process for registrations, transfers and renewals -- with fully disclosed prices.

                                                                                        Moniker: Used to be a great registrar with great support. Then support seemed to only get done with Bari. Once she left for eNom, it was hit and miss with Moniker support, if you even managed to get a native English speaker you were lucky (I assume they switched to outsourced support).

                                                                                        Enom: I have not tried yet. I may consider giving Bari an email and see what she can do. I'll certainly not pay $13.95 for a domain registration which is apparently their standard .com registration.

                                                                                        Others here can likely give you their impressions of their favorite registrars. I have accounts at too many of them to list them all here.

                                                                                        Good luck.

                                                                                        /end wall of text
                                                                                        i mostly use godaddy and then namecheap and moniker. what you said about them is pretty accurate however i couldn't care less what namecheaps main page looks like. their dashboard is functional and works easy enough. the only thing that seems like a pain is i am not sure if you can get auth codes in bulk. they are however just a reseller of enom so not their own registrar really.

                                                                                        things i like about godaddy, you can instantly approve transfers, when you own a lot of domains the price is low (8,47) total for renewals and you get a support guy who can help you with shit if you need it. i never had any problem with their interface though their constant changes are somewhat annoying.

                                                                                        moniker...well they haven't changed in years in regard to their interface but they still work fine as long as you never run into problems. as you said, support is lazy and stupid and just doesn't care.

                                                                                        now enom..i haven't used them directly. namecheap is a reseller of enom though. i might go for it at some point in the future. thing is you need to pre-load $5k to get the good pricing with their reseller program. sure you can go through bari and probably not have to do that but what happens when/if she leaves enom for another company or another venture altogether? thats the problem with going with someone's reseller account. if you have your own reseller account, then you don't have to worry about that.

                                                                                        dynadot's interface seems old and i never really got used to it or really gave it a chance either i guess. i guess you can get cheaper domains if you preload money or have a lot with them. same with fabulous.
                                                                                        you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

                                                                                          That's the thing. It works great now. However, the dashboard is apparently getting reworked as well. In my opinion, if the new front end design is any indication of what to expect for the new dashboard they are working on, then I think the currently efficient functionality is likely to suffer -- certainly their front end's usability has taken a step backwards when compared to the efficiency of the previous design. It kind of looks like a smartphone app, not a website. (my opinion, of course)

                                                                                          I think this thread on their community forums sums up some of the shortcomings of the redesign:

They used to toss coupons out like crazy but seems to have pulled back on those recently but if ya have close to 300 domains their discount club makes it cheaper anyway and you can use a coupon to buy the discount club.

                                                                                              It's like being in a home and having move all your furniture around. Sucks for a couple of days...

                                                                                              But overall Namecheap is good. I am now getting a nice volume discount as well.
