Moniker why are you throwing away money? - GoFuckYourself.com

HorseShit · 05-17-2009, 05:04 PM

Your competitors have free whois/privacy with new registrations, your price $4 per domain.

I usually register a boat load of domains per week and every week I'm saving money by not using your company. It's too bad really, I like your company.

Barefootsies · 05-17-2009, 05:07 PM

Tell me who these 'others' are?

I can move a few hundred domains.

GAMEFINEST · 05-17-2009, 05:10 PM

who are u talkin about

st0ned · 05-17-2009, 05:11 PM

Have you checked into the renewal rates of privacy after the first year? I got suckered into one of those deals, come to find out renewal was almost as much as the domain. I was spending roughly $16/domain for renewal plus privacy. Moniker hooked me up and I have since been transferring my 700+ domains to them. They are giving me better rates than I have found elsewhere, but yeah, free privacy would rock.

why pay more to use moniker over namecheap.

why are you paying 4.00 at moniker for privacy? I pay 2.00

Webair does free privacy, not sure what the second year rates are though. They could use a new admin area however for the domain system.

Si · 05-17-2009, 05:52 PM

namecheap is probably the best company for domains IMO

Then don't, it doesn't hurt me any.

I was simply offering suggestions on HOW TO get free or reduced cost privacy. But seriously, double check on the "free" privacy because as I stated I got screwed on one of those deals.

Domain Diva · 05-17-2009, 06:22 PM

If you want free privacy and a special unprintable offer and have 5 or more domains hit me up for a tailored deal to suit you .

(godaddy will be the registar)

Ps..the more domains..the better the deal .....

I am not using privacy on my domains, and in NY alone there must be over 100 people with the same name as me and I use a PO Box...and let people call my home phone I never answere it. email spam sux though.

I don't see the need for privacy...because if someone wants to sue you they can get your info from either the register or ICANN if the contact info is legit. Trust me I am checking whois like crazy...and a lot of people have bogus info. You can use a fake name...as long as your email address is correct. I rather have legit info in case of a dispute though.

Not to knock your deal, but my advice is to stay away from Godaddy. Simply doing a bit of research will give you plenty of reasons. It was a godaddy reseller that screwed me on "free" privacy also.

uh, I'd rather pay 30 per domain just for privacy just to not have to use godaddy.

d-null · 05-17-2009, 06:37 PM

just go back and forth between namecheap and godaddy and your privacy is always free (as long as you are transferring or registering 5 domains or more)

I assume in the future the registrars will undercut each other, and whois privacy will be a free feature.

LOL, no. I only have privacy on a couple domains. I wasn't going to spend any more because I knew other places offer much much much better rates. I don't really understand it, GD gives me the best rate and best support of any other registrar I've tried, they just want a ridiculous price for privacy.

That's crazy, I know a few large portfolio holders that have privacy on all of their names, but I've never asked what kind of deal they have with their registrar.

A long time ago I used registerfly, almost everyone here should know about them and what happened. Well some of my domains went to enom because registerfly wasn't renewing (or working at all) for a good while. So I called enom up and told them what happened. They said we don't care, those domains belong to us now. If you want your domains with a company like that all I can say is good luck if anything ever happens to them.

I've heard of other similar situation with other registrars and they always gave the domains back. enom sucks.

and DO NOT make the mistake of registering a new domain with free privacy at Dreamhost, and then transfer it to GoDaddy.

It is next to impossible to remove privacy on the domain because the e-mail address for privacy points to Dreamhost.

She replies to me almost instantly every time I hit her. And many times when she is about to go home for the day she has stuck around to help me with something. I know she is at the L.A. show right so if you are hitting her up you may not reach her for a few days.

Not a very good rep if it takes a few days for answers. I don't care if she is busy or not, so am I. How can you be at a webmaster show but be too busy to do business? Is she there to have a good time or do business?

If she's to busy to take my money I'll leave it elsewhere.

I can understand her not giving a fuck about random webmasters who want to do business with Moniker, after all its not her profits. Whats hard to understand is why such a big, respected company would continue to keep her onboard with situations like this continually being spoken of.

If she isn't sharp enough to set her ICQ and work emails to accept communications from prospective clients they need to hire someone who doesn't mind dealing with clients, and is eager to bring new business in.

i got everything that was enom taken care of from registerfly but when the rest got moved to godaddy i got fucked for a few domains

SeizeTheDomain · 05-17-2009, 10:55 PM

Each of you have your own experiences and reasons why you chose a particular registrar. With us, most of our inventory is with Godaddy. They offer free privacy on bulk (5 +) registrations or transfers. Its my understanding that the free privacy option lasts as long as the initial amount of years you choose to register for. If I understood correctly from my AE, Godaddy was going to lower the fees on the privacy option very soon.

BTW. Domainers with large portfolios will be assigned their own AE.

You must not have had current whois info with Registerfly. I had a couple hundred domains with Registerfly and many of them went to Enom and they gave me plenty of heads up on how to control and transfer them out.

I was trying to "renew" my domains. Registerfly system didn't work so the domains were given to enom, I called enom and they said fuck off.

Most of my domains I got out, but that was because I did that before they were up for renewal. Now if I'd known registerfly was gonna pull that crap I would've done them all sooner but no one knew.

Regardless of all the bitchin' the GoDaddy group has nearly 1/3rd of the global domain registration market share. They didn't grow to be #1 by shafting people, stealing domains, etc, etc.
