The best service, the best price ( not the cheapest but hey, it worth the service other registrar not give you). Simply the best. Dynadot is where I register most of my domains. Changing of nameserver is the fastest!

Hi,

i just *have* to post how much i'm satisfied with dynadot as a registrar.

It's only a short time i have been with them but so far i can only say good things about them.

Although they're not the cheapest ones ($7.99) compared to godaddy, moniker etc here's what i love about them:

- One of the most easiest interfaces to handle that i have come across
- Superfast integration of Paypal payment
- Customer support that actually answers the phone, is competent and quick
- They're an ICANN accredited registrar, no reseller-ism here

Especially the third point is worth going in details a bit more:

I had a technical problem/question so i called them up in the first minute of their business hours and indeed someone picked up the phone.

That alone is worth a mention as it's not something you can take for granted with registrars these days !

Although in the end the problem could not really be solved (not their fault really) the support lady was technically competent, knew what she was talking about and even more important when we reached a point where she wasn't sure 100% anymore about some technical issue she promised me to ask her boss as soon he comes in and to contact me by email about the issue then.

What can i say - 1 hour later i had a personal email from her, going in details about the issue and what she had talked about with her boss.

So the absolute opposite of a standard reply that one is used to expect these days.

Oh did i mention so far i only have like 8 or 9 names with them ?!

After all that crap i have been through with especially the likes of registerfly, it's really refreshing to see and experience customer support indeed *CAN* be done in a customer satisfying way !

I almost had given up my hopes on that

So a full thumbs up for dynadot and i hope it stays this way !

if your domain is hosted on their server they can do that.

Hmm - have you tried their phone support ?

I have found them to be most responsive and friendly really.

maybe be a little more polite, remove the script from your website so they unlock your domain. When you buy a domain you agree to the ToS, so there's hardly any way to blame them!

I personally have never had problems with them, easy to use, feature rich, good customer service and prices are way below average.

Cheap prices, fast response for transfers, registrations and customer attention.

However there is no option to setup your own nameservers.

I'm a Dynadot customer also.

You certainly can change the Name Servers.

I have 153 domains there all with Name Servers of my choice.

Click "Manage Domains". Then you'll see the Menu Options.

"Renew" "Add Privacy" "Set Name Servers" "Set Lock" etc.

You have to select one or more domains before clicking "Set Name Servers".

The rest is very easy.

HTH,
Patrick

Try Dynadot's hosting @ $1 per month.

Given how efficient the maintenance of Dynadot's registrar service is, I had to try their $1 per month hosting plan as well.

Although there are no perl or php scripts, if you can live without scripting, it can't be beat. In fact, the lack of scripting means their service will be more secure.

The setup is instant, and you can change the site you're hosting at any time. Instantly. Dynasite rocks!
