    Moniker fucks up again.

    I should have jumped ship years ago.

    Can anybody recommend a registrar that I can transfer hundreds of domains to for under $10 a year each with privacy?

    Moniker's current home page:

    To All Moniker Customers,

    This past weekend we launched a completely new Moniker experience which involved the release of an entirely new Moniker website and customer portal. Our goal is to increase the products and services we offer while at the same time maintaining a robust set of tools that enable clients to effectively manage their Web properties in a single place.

    We are aware that our systems were experiencing issues after the transition which resulted in outages affecting customers. Our engineering team is investigating these issues and is working to resolve them as quickly as possible. To ensure a fast recovery of site-wide functionality, we have decided to perform ongoing maintenance.

    As a result, all services accessed through the website interface and API are currently unavailable. All domain services including DNS Hosting, URL Forwarding, Email Forwarding and general usage of domains registered at Moniker.com will remain unaffected. Please excuse any inconvenience this may cause.

    All operations will be resumed at 9:00 am (EDT). As you can imagine, these issues have caused a significant increase in call volume to our support staff and we are working diligently to resolve each and every case. We are working around the clock to resolve your questions and concerns expeditiously.

    Sincerely,
    Your Team @ Moniker

      good luck. any domains that were expired could be missing. people can't renew domains, you can't get auth codes in bulk and unlocking domains doesn't even right (as of earlier today) and now the site is just down, who knows when i will be back and how many domains will be permanently lost. fucking pathetic.

      as for other registrars...

      namecheap.com
      namesilo.com
      dynadot.com
      if you have over 750 domains to transfer, fabulous.com
      you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

          I am surprised people still use them unless it is only because they make it so difficult to transfer domains away from them.

              i continued to use them because, well there was no reason not to. things worked fine and i never needed support. i just renewed domains i already had there since 2005.

                  Strange,i remember you were very pissed because of some problems before,though you will change registrar then.
                  Here is domain register which i currently suggest:
                  If you dont mind prices,go with namecheap
                  If you want best ratio of prices and features,got with name.com
                  If you want cheapest,go with internetbs.net or namesilo.com

                      I've continued to sue them because I haven't taken the time to find out where I can get domains with privacy for under $10 per year.

                      Not that Moniker's privacy is worth a shit as it's full of flaws.

                          When you have hundreds of domains then price does become an issue, especially if you want to transfer them all out at once. However, there needs to be a balance of reliable service too.

                          I'll check out all of the suggestions.

                          Thank you.

                              Whoever approved the new Moniker user interface over there in the all star management team should be shot while jumping off the roof.

                              That has to be one of the absolute worst user interfaces ever since Windows 3

                                  Well i actually saved money by moving out to name.com -they have cheaper com registration/renewal,and privacy is free unlike moniker.Also,when you transferring domains,it usually cost atleast 1$ less then renewing domain so with transferring you actually save money.

                                      I have several hundred domains at fabulous.com
                                      Have been with them for quite a few years and haven't ever had any issues.

                                      I also have a handful of domains at rebel.com
                                      Again, never had an issue.

                                      Free privacy on both.

                                      Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

                                              If whois privacy is important to you then it's worth checking out how it is applied by each registrar. I don't know what they are like now but Namecheap would always register the domain to you, then apply whois - that means your name shows up on the whois history checks that anyone can carry out.

                                                      If you are going to transfer hundreds, hit up namecheap.

                                                      They do you better deals depending on then number of domains you have.

Prices are low but not the cheapest but if you have hundreds, you can get .com for as low as $8.50 (I think).

                                                                      With regard to other options, id still go with Namecheap as its had a stronger brand name for a longer period of time. By the way, am I right to say that the domains underlying registrar is still ENOM? When I whois check im seeing enom. I suppose that is a good thing ultimately, one presumes?

                                                                      How much are you paying for .com then?

                                                                      I actually don't mind that Namecheap is not the cheapest because id rather have a registrar with a long term sustainable business model. Its not like buying clothes or computers where you take delivery. These registrars are holding your shit, so you should prefer to pay a bit more.

                                                                          Moniker's support rocked AND they offered discount pricing if you had bulk domains. I was paying $7.99 per domain + $1.00 for privacy. Over the years their support has gone to shit and they have bumped my pricing up a bit. When I called to complain, they lowered it to $8.99 + $1.00 and that's where it's at now.

                                                                          The bottom line is that when I leave Moniker, I have no intention of using anything that's attached to ENOM.

Anyway, if you look back at threads posing the question over the years, Namecheap has always been a favorite:

It took me 2 weeks, sleepless nights, countless phone calls and lost revenue to get it back. I moved all of my domains from godaddy to moniker and never had a problem since then. I don't know what would happen if I did not have privacy with Moniker but I somehow hope they wouldn't just give my domain to someone who sends them a fake ID with my whois info. Yeah, Moniker is having problems while switching to their new thing, but it's still better than having godaddy telling me the domain is gone and with its rightful owner. Fuck godaddy, a simple phone call to verify would prevent the whole thing but they fucked up big time.

                                                                                                                                              I am in my Moniker dashboard right now and that is not working at all. Nothing moves to the shopping cart. I already sent in a ticket 2 days ago and no response. I have tried calling their customer support and I can't even get thru (from the USA). I have invoices and cancellations that I assume Moniker is generating. The invoices state to wire $ to them even tho I have a cc on file. There is no way I'm going to wire them shit, no if I could, I would wire them shit at this point. I only have domains there because I bought them from sellers who had registered them at Moniker. I have only been able to transfer ONE domain out of there successfully in years. I have lost 3 domains where I couldn't renew them and in one case I started the renewal process over a month in advance knowing how difficult they are and I still lost the domain. Moniker sucks Tijuana donkey show dick.
