FUCKING DOTSTER... I need a new domain registrar :( - GoFuckYourself.com

SeniorX · 01-23-2005, 09:21 AM

A week with Dotster:

1. Lost one of my domains at Dotster without getting any notification e-mails from them. Did I get it back? - see #3

2. Without giving me an option to decline Dotster added .info domains matching the .com domains in my account AND put the Dotster account ownership info into the .info domain whois INSTEAD of matching whois data with .com domains - fucking retards.

3. I am still waiting for replies to support messages I submitted on monday and tuesday this week. very frustrating.

Am I the only one here being lately very disappointed in Dotster?

Any recommendations for a quality domain registrar are highly appreciated. Thanks.

Use Directnic www.directnic.com we have loads of domains with them and they rock. Actually we have moved a few over to www.coolness.com as they are awesome and cheaper.

SeniorX · 01-23-2005, 09:28 AM

I just discovered www.dotstersucks.com is already taken, I wonder why.

EyesWideShut · 01-23-2005, 09:30 AM

wow they've been on a roll lately haven't they!

jacked · 01-23-2005, 09:31 AM

go with www.nomanix.com haven't had any problems with them ever

tungsten · 01-23-2005, 09:34 AM

namecheap.com is good as well

Mr Dickovitch · 01-23-2005, 09:40 AM

Suddenly I am on the dotster email list but I have never bought a domain from there. Maybe someone stole one of my domains and moved it there? When you try to logon there with the email they force you to enter the domain so there is no way to tell. Those mother fuckers.
I went through all my domains and they seem to all be OK.

SeniorX · 01-23-2005, 09:41 AM

I haven't gone with DirectNic because of their retarded trouble ticket page - topic, short description, detailed description. I can only imagine what their members are looks like.

Nomanix looks the best design-wise atm. but I haven't heard of them before, will do some more research.

What about www.register.com - anyone has experience with them? They seem to have a support phone # on the main page, that's always a good sign.

one person highly recommended GoDaddy compared to Dotster, are they any good?

jawanda · 01-23-2005, 09:54 AM

www.namecheap.com is awesome! cheap, never had a problem, good service, free whoisguard.

The Heron · 01-23-2005, 09:59 AM

Directnic is for pimps

arg · 01-23-2005, 10:10 AM

SeniorX, several other people have had major problems with Dotster lately, you're not alone.

I'd strongly disrecommend Godaddy. They're huge, but will disable domain names at the registry level based on accusations of spamming or other activity. Even if you don't do that, false accusations can occur, and I don't think it's worth jeopardizing your business with an unnecessary risk like that.

Directnic has a lot of fans, but lost a domain to hijackers last week; I haven't heard any details other than the owners claim that it was due to Directnic's gross negligence.

Rui · 01-23-2005, 10:21 AM

Godaddy all the way

MakeMeGrrrrowl · 01-23-2005, 10:27 AM

register.com is good...but expensive. I forgot to renew one of my domains and within an hour they had it back for me..so they're good in that regard.

I use powerpipe.com for majority of my domains. Stargate.com for a few of them

triumph · 01-23-2005, 10:29 AM

I have tried every registrar, and by far, enom is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You may want to do a little research and look at the shit people have with godaddy too. It makes any directnic problems look tiny in comparison.

Personally I love directnic. Not the cheapest but flexible, an interface which works fine and very responsive should you ever need help.

I have to agree 100%.

Namecheap would rank #2 on my list, and by no coincidence, they are an Enom reseller.

xclusive · 01-23-2005, 10:51 AM

I've never had a problem with godaddy or namecheap

jimmyf · 01-23-2005, 10:59 AM

Verio does domain's now I might try them..

I use there hosting and it's very good..

SeniorX · 01-23-2005, 11:15 AM

enom's too expensive at $29.95 for bulk.... will give directnic a try then, same price as dotster, hopefully better quality. thanks for all the feedback.

eNom's reseller pricing is more like $6.50 or $7 in bulk (quantity 1000, I think?), but I can't find any prices listed now (used to be easy to find). I'm moving domains away from them, as I consider their underlying software fundamentally flawed, and their response to bugs and support requests careless and inadequate. However, their bulk pricing is very competitive, and their user interface is very good if you don't have a lot of domains. (It breaks down when you get too many.)

What -- I can't believe no one mentioned Network Solutions -- I dont think I have ever had a problem with them, although they're not the cheapest and their interface is not the best your domain is definitely secure

XpressMedia · 01-23-2005, 01:10 PM

I use Godaddy.com for all domain registering.

Fatalspeed · 01-23-2005, 01:40 PM

... I will never use Dotster after hearing all the shit about them lately

sexdwarf · 01-23-2005, 02:05 PM

i've had problems with dotster for years... one of my domains mysteriously got moved to the CEO's contact info... never got my oney back, never got my domain back... i had contacted ICANN about it and never heard back from them... eventually got over it and moved to a different registrar...

They've given me bigger problems than anyone else in the past. As for security...there's at least one very big domain who'd argue that even if secure now they certainly haven;t always been so.
