Which domain registrar
 

I am thinking about moving multiple domains to a new domain registrar. Which one has the best service / price value at the moment. Thanks for any info ;)

Price wise, no one beats Godaddy as long as you dig up one of the coupons giving you domains new or transfers @$6.99. Register/transfer five or more to get free privacy too.

Now all the Godaddy haters are going to come in here and whine and cry about how they hate Godaddy. And there are reasons to be careful with them, but mostly if you don't play by the rules, like providing false information. As long as you stay real, you're safe with them. And price wise, no one can offer lower prices than the largest registrar in the world. They kind of have something called "economies of scale" with their size. :)

I don't like GoDaddy.
I use OpenSRS.

I have been using fabulous a lot lately. Probably not the best price though.

Namecheap, Fabulous.

Godaddy....reliable...lowest prices and 24/7 telephone support if needed....thats my choice and for those reasons.

thanks... more interesting registrars ?

I am using godaddy...

Namecheap is nice.

I prefer Moniker

we use and recommend Godaddy as well. Never had any issues whatsoever.

Hey Camchoice

Feel free to hit me up about Moniker! :thumbsup

Moniker is the best by far and Bari always there to support. Also there system is made to manage multiple domains. I highly recomment them.

I personally always recommend Moniker!!!!

Hit us Bari, she will rock it for you.

Bari and Moniker are my choice, she's always great when I have any issues and/or questions! :thumbsup:thumbsup

Moniker is down

Is that site http://www.moniker.com ? Because thats not loading for me ...
Not a good start ...

Its down here too :( ...you can always guarantee something will happen when you least want it to.

Sorry about that CamChoice!!! Bad timing I guess. :(

We just experienced a network outage in LA. The site is back up!

Feel free to contact me directly about Moniker

Nope still down

Those things happen to the best. I send you a message on icq but nobody seems to be answering the call :Oh crap

If you want your domains on US soil I say GoDaddy as you can pick up the phone 24/7 and get a live person and with their coupon codes tough to beat, plus if you have hundreds of domains you can get a personal account rep which sweetens some prices. If you want your domains off US soil I would go Fabulous as they have the best domainer control panel and security located in Australia, you would want a monetization account though for the better pricing over the standard retail account.

Thanks for understanding CamChoice! It's been a pleasure chatting with you on ICQ. As discussed, feel free to hit me up when you're ready! :thumbsup

Namecheap

Moniker is great...everyone has issues give em a shot

I'd recommend godaddy. Play by the rules and you won't have any issues.

Why did they scare you ?

I'm using Moniker for like two years now and I'm pretty satisfied.

i use godaddy and moniker.

First of all their lack of support... I have not needed to contact support with them yet, but stories from others that did scare me because it seems Bari is the only support rep for Moniker and if she's not around then you're fucked until she decides to resurface.

Secondly, their site being down... not a good look!

And last, but most certainly not least, shit like this: fucking-around-and-business-discussion/937782-snapnames-com-sued-manipulating-domain-auctions.html

:thumbsup Just like the good folks have said ...GoDaddy.com
Keep it real and there are zero problems. Need support? They are available 24/7 with US based CSR. Have enough domains in your folio, a Account Executive will be assigned to you. And having the lowest price... that's the icing on the cake. :thumbsup

a registrar should have a better support system than gfy :2 cents:

I use namecheap for a long time, i got many domains with them. They are the best.

l agree.....

Actually you can have our own Account Executive even with 1 domain although l guess with only a few domains one would not be needed.......

I like namecheap, dynadot, moniker

I've been using Godaddy for years but got feed up paying for the privacy when a lot of other good registrars offer it at a much lower price or give to your for free. When you have a bunch of domains the privacy really ads up.

I recently started buying and moving my domains over to Name.com where you get free privacy. So far it has worked out very good and their security is tight! You can order one of those digital banking login things for your domain account with them.

namecheap.com :thumbsup

Ps. Jeff Dunham is funny :1orglaugh

Price wise, I have deals with 2 registrars that beat Go Daddy on price.

Of course, price shouldn't be the only factor to consider when registering domains.

Shopping around and speaking to people is a must.

To answer the original post. I'd say Moniker fits your criteria.

I use godaddy, but I don't have any really valuable domain names. I wouldn't use their service from premium domains.

I have used namecheap for years.

I still have all of my domain names with GoDaddy but have been playing with an idea of transferring them all one by one as they approach expiry dates but can't seem to see a solid replacement. Moniker is an obvious no no, namecheap is a bit on an expensive side and little in return, name.com sounds kind of cool and prices along with free whois guard are attractive, but there seems to be little solid feedback on them. Decisions, decisions...

you might want to look at webair.

Agreed!:thumbsup

Right, I agree. I got my stuff from godaddy and now I get hit with high privacy fees. Right you get free privacy if you register 5 domains with them. But you get hit with privacy at the first RENEWAL! or does anyone have a solution for that?

I am transferring my domains away from them. Will look into name.com, namecheap.com as recommended by you guys.

I got my domains on 1&1 now. Great pricing, free privacy. 1&1 is a huge web site hoster, so they have a solid backing and solid name.

They are somewhat bureaucratic about identification when opening accounts, but their prices are excellent. They have good and cheap hosting packages, but I haven't tried the hosting yet. You have to dig a little to get to the domain buying places, seems they are not too keen on selling domains.
