        I moved over 1000 domains from Godaddy to Moniker.
        I will not move them back - time to search for a new company that gives a shit.

          I moved all mine as well, not that I have that many to begin with , but It was because of the personal attention I could get.

              Unfortunately that personal attention a few get, mean the rest of us don't even get answered. I tried several times to open communication with Moniker, and never got responded to in email or ICQ. It was even as bad as me talking with an associate on ICQ, who was talking to the rep, telling me, 'She is there right now, she answered me"

              It wasn't until after making a thread (or posting) here on GFY that someone even answered me, and it was pretty evident the only reason I got hit up was because I called them out, NOT because they gave a shit about any business I wanted to bring.

              If they can't respond and hold discussions before they get my business, what should make me think they would give a shit after I switch to them.

                Customer service is the LAST thing anybody should outsource IMO.
                Data entry, programming I all get...but personal service is like a sacred thing.

                  Daruma - what happened? We didn't move Client Services to the Philippines. We added it for additional support. Please contact me directly if you need assistance.

                          Seriously ??? only after I ask like 100 times to be transfered to a REAL human being in the USA - and they say its NOT possible.

                          You guys are just watching GFY to monitor for upset people but not willing to have someone that can answer real questions.

                          Too late - I'm searching for a new reliable company - you guys had your chance.

                              I'm sorry you feel that way but Moniker IS reliable!

                              No, I don't sit at my desk all day and troll GFY monitoring it for upset people/pissed off clients. I was informed by another client about the post and I reached out to you immediately. If anything, you could have done a GFY search for me/Moniker and reached out directly as I'm always available to help out!

                                GFY is your new support forum..

                                There is NOTHING worse than asking for a manager and being refused - especially when you can barely make out what the customer service person is saying..

                                  Phew I got worried there for a minute. Just a note to moniker owners if Bari be gone I be gone ;) She is the reason I moved all mine (not 1000 like Daruma but I do have 120 or so) to Moniker. So you should be giving this girl a raise and making sure she sticks around

                                  Muah lova.

                                    Every time I have emailed Bari directly I have received a response immediately. Her customer service makes Moniker great! Every registrar has issues, you just have to deal with the right individuals, and Bari is probably one of the best reps in my opinion.

                                      Trust me - I don't need GFY as a support forum! Again, I apologize about the inconvenience with the rep. You're right! There is NOTHING worse than asking for a manager and being refused - and I do apologize for that as well.

                                      I can't bring back the past, I can only go forward and offer my assistance. If you want to take me up on it great. If not, that's up to you.

                                          I have been nothing but happy with Moniker... I just called support about 3 days ago and got the help I needed in under 30 seconds.... so I don't know what your problem was... but you sound like a drama queen.

                                              probably better than what they had going before. sometimes when i have called in the past i get some girl who says all the techs are busy and to submit a ticket. sure but if i wanted to submit a ticket i wouldn't be calling...
                                              you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

                                                OK, for a next time, just hang up, and try someone else there.
                                                Why waist your day over this, she probably has a shitty salary already. Its her life we can go cry about.

                                                      Daruma, did you ever think maybe it's your fault you don't speak one of these languages: http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=PH so you can talk to their support in THEIR native language??

                                                      I've never used the for domains but would never, not after our auction experience with them that was a total joke from the top of Moniker on down

                                                            Moniker support is going down. They were known as finest registrar with great security and support.
                                                            Now they're junk. Monte Cahn doesn't give a sh!t same at SnapNames.

                                                            I'll stick with this:
                                                            http://www.slideshare.net/warezforum...iscount-coupon

                                                            Their support was weak but is getting better. Also you can finally cut that annoying advertisments anytime you buy domain, or change nameservers.

                                                            Yup, and Bob Parsons i cool dude, he's like 15 yrs old MF

                                                              Bari has always helped me out. Last time I called I was on hold a long time but at least got an English speaker.

                                                                    That said, I encountered one of the outsourced reps myself a short while back when Moniker was having an outage of some sort. Called to find out if the problem was them or me, I could barely understand the rep (and I'm good with accents), and what I could understand didn't really give me the feeling that the rep knew anything about domains or DNS. Just feedback, I can understand how this would piss some people off. Luckily it wasn't any sort of emergency situation for me.

                                                                                                  Have been trying to get this simple question answered, which is a bit of info that should be on Snapnames somewhere since credit card is the default payment option on there. A person at Moniker's escrow support didn't know, so I called Snapnames support and got transferred to a Moniker Philippines support woman that told me to submit a support ticket right after telling me she would try to find out...huh? I have a transaction in limbo and had to tell the buyer that I'm "still trying to find out from Snapnames", lol. Every other escrow service or marketplace had this info on the website or could tell me in a 1 minute call.
                                                                                                  Want to crush it in mainstream with Facebook ads? Hit me up.

Just a note to moniker owners if Bari be gone I be gone ;) She is the reason I moved all mine (not 1000 like Daruma but I do have 120 or so) to Moniker. So you should be giving this girl a raise and making sure she sticks around
