Domainsite is very cheap and this is why I keep using them. I do get failed registrations a great deal. Always check your billing statment. I have seen multiple charges although domainsite normally takes care of it when I contact them.

I like the interface a lot, it's the easiest one to deal with among the registrars I dealt with. Their price is good, but I can't find coupons like for other companies. But in general, I recommend this company.

EDIT: How can I change my ratings??? I thought 1 is the best...

I like this service, however I've have some issues:

- Delay tranferring domains from elsewhere into your DomainSite account
- Problems setting up nameservers to dot.NAME domains
- Lack of domains detailed reports, like those available at RegisterFly

However, the customer Service has always resolved such issues timely, except the reports matter, which is a common missing feature in most services, including GoDaddy.

I have 25 domains at Domainsite, and haven't experienced any problems. I mainly use them for .info registrations, though, because of the $1.99 price

Good Cheap Registrar. Interface is not colorful but it's functional. I never had problem with the support team. I run across to few php errors but for 2-3 times in the whole year. The only thing i didn't like is that you can register and transfer a name for 6.99 but if you want to renew you must pay 7.99. I was surprised when i saw it to the shopping cart and it was too late to move some of the domains

A fantastic site. Never had any problems with them. Great pricing. I'm not sure if I would host any super premium names because of their interface and my own lack of knoweledge of custermer service provided...

nonetheless, a very reasonable and affordable company to deal with for every domainer stuff.

Worst registrar period.

Up until 6 months ago I would have said this was a decent registrar. Those with Domainsite may recall around this time there was a database glitch which reset all passwords. These passwords were sent to the domain holder's emails. My email never came, I called support faxed them my personal info (turned out I had to write to them), wrote to them and still never received confirmation nor password.
Yesterday my password finally came by email?! Unfortunately it has been 27 days after their expiration date.. I've written them regarding their 30 day grace period and was then quoted with 25 day grace period. Nice of them to be so eager to park with their own company though. Thanks for nothing, avoid this company like the plague. Shades of old netsol days.

This speaks volumes about this registrar. This is one of the first registrars that I noticed crossing the boundary line between servicing and competing w/ the domain name community. Over two years ago when the availability of 3 character .com hand registrations began to dwindle to zero, drops were still available w/o B/Os. I was able to pick up a few but, soon was aced out by this registrar who was running a script and using their priveleged registrar-registry position to, virtually, scarf every 3 char .com that dropped into their own portfolio and onto their own parked pages. They beat me to the punch so often, I , eventually gave up. I, also, had several instances where I caught their service department B/Sing me and changing procedures that were to their enrichment at my expense. These folks are, totally,out to rule the world and do not have the domain name marketer's interest in mind, whatsoever.
