Is Moniker WHOIS privacy now free?
 

$4? you were getting raped anyway, I and many others got it for $1, and a ton more got it free.

Even if it's free now, get out :)

seen :thumbsup

There are other options for free WHOIS privacy that are better than Moniker.

Only reason I ever had names there, kinda sad though that their best support had to come from GFY forum, moved my shit out years ago. Mainly use GoDaddy cause $8.47 and have my own account rep and don't need privacy. If I did need privacy would use someone else or one of the free external ones. :2 cents:

name.com privacy free FTW

There are service you can pay like 10 bucks a year and just change all your WHOIS information to their address.

So essentially you pay $10 a year for unlimited privacy on unlimited domains.

I would avoid Moniker...

Why is that?

I switched from Godaddy to Internet.bs because of their free whois privacy. http://www.internet.bs/

No it's not free. The privacy will most likely drop off and then you will be exposed :helpme

Moniker's interface is so *fucked* I couldn't even add privacy, so I bought proxy privacy thru a 3rd party service. The 3rd party proxy doesn't protect you by default. You add their contact details in the Whois page on Moniker for your domains.

And I wouldn't even be using Moniker, but I couldn't transfer all of my domains out of that sinkhole due to glitches.

Moniker sucks, waiting for the sequel to Registerfly .....

free ones as well...

Don't say that... The entire reason I switched to Moniker was because I had domains stuck with Registerfly and I couldn't get them moved. This was back when Bari was doing the board rep here and she got them moved for me. Since then I've never had any issues, but I also don't have the 300 and so on domains I had at that time..

I keep seeing people saying Moniker is bad, but I never really see anyone say why.. I see a bunch of complaints about the interface but that's about it. So why is it everyone says Moniker is no good?

1. they buttfucked my cc and overcharged it 4x
2. they didn't respond to any of my support tickets
3. called them multiple times and on hold forever
4. their interface is a click *hell*
5. there was no option for privacy in my dashboard despite me following
the effing procedure in the FAQ and despite me having privacy for the
domains I had there for years, so the privacy dropped and I had to use
a 3rd party to pick up proxy privacy
6. I was able to transfer out a few domains, but others stayed stuck at
Moniker

if I can get these final few domains out, I will never look back, good riddance to registrar rubbish.

here is a blog post that someone wrote about their fuckery and the comments also reflect negative experiences other ppl have had w/ Moniker

http://www.domaininvesting.com/advice-moniker/

I tell it like it is without the sugar coating. If you want bullshit, then listen to the propaganda spouted by Moniker's CEO Bonnie Wittenburg.

Other people have reported problems with renewals, unwanted renewals on previously dropped domains, credit card billing and WHOIS privacy. The following is my personal experience with them.

Putting aside the crappy control panel, these are the main issues I have with Moniker. Since the changeover, I haven't received a single renewal notice from Moniker, despite the fact I had a few hundred domains with them that were expiring in the next 90 days. Those have since been transferred out. I will continue to transfer out the rest of my Moniker portfolio. I also never received any domain unlocked notices. If someone is attempting to steal my domains, I want to be notified in a timely manner, so that I can respond to it. Moniker's failure to send any domain unlocked notices is proof their security has gone to shit. My email is valid as I have received "A Message from Moniker's CEO | Bonnie Wittenburg" and the necessary EPP codes.

Hiiii Bari what's up :pimp

Hey Lady :)

Move your domains to NameSilo, $8.39 and lower for domains plus FREE whois privacy for life.

I was confused about whois privacy as well last time when I was renewing something there. There is even not much info about it in their help.
Actually their whole new cp is confusing. I'm done with them anyway after what they did with some of my domains.

Details?

Which ones?

registerprivatedomain.com gives you $10 for 10 domains

free ones as well...
