Don't make the same mistake i did regarding domain registrar

i used 1and1.com

i have over 30 domains with them.... and now i do a little backround info because it came to my attention that domains easily get shut down when someone "accuses" you of spamming and some registrars just jump the gun and shut down an account without even really looking into it... 1and1.com seems to be one of those companies...

now i am going to have to spend 9 dollars for each of my domains to transfer them to namecheap.com

thought the 6 dollar registration is what lured me into using 1and1.com i should have done more research..

so spend a few extra dollars and go with a registrar that you know wont fuck you over.... an enom reseller

namecheap.com

i'm not talkin about webhosts.... and every registrar lets you point to different hosts.... well... if they plan on being in business anyways..

i'm talking about the registrar itself.. the person you use to register the domain....

Ask yourself this question:

"Why would I buy something from person B instead of buying it directly from person A?"

Heard MANY problems with NameCheap and GoDaddy ... and enom too, though more of such problems seem to be some of enom's resellers.

Moniker may be a good choice, especially since Monte is active on here and at DNForum.

Namecheap will also shut down your domain for spam. Do a search on gfy.

Good point. Nothing wrong about buying from a reseller as long as the product and/or service is good.

Many people in the adult biz who had their PayPal accounts suspended had been with PayPal for years with no problems...

Just because there have been no problems yet, doesn't mean problems won't happen ... if you have important adult related domains with GoDaddy, beware!

if you want a real enom account with low prices, signup for either a retail account or a reseller account at http://www.domainpendor.com
then you can use enom directly, difference in reseller account is that you have to pay in minimum $100.00 payments. its a $8.95 account

I registered domains recently at 10-domains parava , and when I looked at the whois on them, it had a 1and1 name server. I have never used 1and1 , it just appeared as my DNS

weird, I reported the problem, they said it's not their error.

Looking to move 100+ domains to a nice place... what do you know about fabulous?
