wow i havnt even heard of some of those before... SCHLUND+PARTNER???wtf

Will be interesting to see if Directnic can give Dotster a run for their money.

probably german

the germans have the highest number of domains per person.

Lol @ NameKing.com, I love these guys :winkwink:

Why isn't namecheap.com on there?

Go Moniker!

a "schlund" is in german a greedier faucal :-)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Joker.com

namecheap = enom

Interesting.... I have a bunch of domains with bulkregister and they were just bought by enom as well.

How in the world did GoDaddy get so much market share, that's incredible.

EDIT: Double post.

Superbowl ads!

Actually I dunno but when they bought those in the last couple years I knew they had something going for them BIG.

= 1and1
www.1and1.com

they started out with good service and now though the service is not bad, the games that they play suck enough to move domains to moniker :2 cents:

Exactly...not only did they have a Superbowl commercial, they had a controversial Superbowl commercial that got the plug pulled and wasn't aired a second time as promised. They then did the TV/Radio show circuit with the GoDaddy girl in tow and the rest is history......

commercials with hot chicks doing sexual things during super bowl sunday. :winkwink:

I remember the superbowl ad but didn't think it would actually get so many webmasters attention. Wow, effective marketing!

Who says you need to be a webmaster to own or buy a domain name. People are just damn wierd.
