in the past this error had created to me some problems ... seems that they have a bug ...
the domain seems unlocked .. but it's locked...
have you tried to contact them ?

I think they are only good for .info domains as the price of .info is only $1.99

They are cheap on .com / .net / .org ($6.99) but the features like DNS , NS , CNAME , Forwarding etc are absent in that price.

Personally , I dont like registrars who charge extra for the above small little things

Overall - 7 / 10

Domainsite SUCKS!

there customer service sucks, i have a domain hung up for almost a year and no one contacts me to let me know the status. and its not a 6.99 reg it cost me a bill.
And i have more than 100 domains there. Way to go customer service.

There site is always having issues/ string errors.. doesnt make me very confident with there security or reliabilty.

I first sign up my danichost.info from DomainSite when they offer the cheapest .info in the market so i though, ok 1.99 shouldn't expect much since it is that cheap blah blah blah...i change my nameserver and started my hosting experience, however recently while changing host i has some problem with dns issue and i finally use DomainSite support. I though the time needed would be like 1-3 days like GoDaddy (i register my domain there before) however surprise surprise surprise i recieve a reply from their support team within a hour...follow that i ask some other question and i am more than happy i recieve their reply within a hour everytime. I give them 4.5/5.0 for their quality support, easy and fast registration (all payment and register done within 10 mins)...however 0.5 mark has been lose to their control panel which is compare to namecheap not so user friendly but never a less their support team help out excellently...

One of my favourite domain registars. It has simple domain searches and sales are quick through eBay with no minimum deposits or the alike. I really think it needs WhoIsGuard protection! Other than that, a wonderful registar with great prices!

They do offer it, but:

Our hidden whois service will only mask the registry whois information for .COM, .NET, .BZ, .CC,M .TV and.WS tld domain names.

Not to mention it's quite pricey...

Yer these guys are pretty good i have to say. Apart from to transfer a domain name it takes longer than some other registra's for some reason. There 100% great though, allthough i think the .com domains are $8.99 for 1 year as i have bought over 50 from there now and they were all 8.99

its only $8.99 for the extra features, most people just buy the plain domain which costs $6.99

Domainsite used to be my favourite registrar, that is until I started having problems editing the ip's of my custom nameservers.

I always have to end up emailing scott to make the requisite changes.

I quite like domainsite for the fact they are pretty decent, although they should upgrade their servers. Customer service is okay, price okay and features okay. They dont give transfer problems in or out.

The drawbacks are server problems, and privacy protection isnt all that cheap. Support sometimes takes a while to reply.

Overall quite ok, if you are going for cheap.

Been with domainsite for over a year, with 2000 plus domains there.
Their customer service has always been good, easy to get them on the phone.
They have been on some forums to ask members for input and ideas to make their service better.
