I started using Name.com recently to take advantage of their incredible $5.99 .com pricing for new registrations. Unlike Moniker, they don't charge a fee for PayPal transactions which is a nice bonus. Unlike with 1and1, who also charge $5.99, there is no fee to push a domain. The website works quickly, which is essential when trying to snag recent drops. Free URL forwarding. Nameserver and URL forwarding updates propagate almost instantly in most cases which is brilliant. Each new registration costs me almost $2 less than at Moniker when using PayPal.
My only gripes are that the control panel is quite clunky. There is no option to bulk edit nameservers and the four defaulted nameservers must be manually deleted for each domain before more can be successfully added. They do not offer a grace deletion period. I thus only use them for domains I know I will keep. Recently registered domains take much longer than normal to verify at Sedo.
I am very impressed with this registrar. They offer great features and a stable platform for an incredible price. A great registrar for quick flips, especially when selling at eBay as it helps to reduce the burden of eBay fees eating into profits.
