Reviews and information for Name

They have quite good customer support service. However, sometimes it might be difficult to find things on the website. (e.g. log out button, g,funny...). In other words, the interface is not very user friendly but, the service is excellent.

Is a logic result, i get great prices but now they dont respond my emails. At the beginning they answer my emails after 24 hours, then after 3 days, now i dont have any answer. I have some domains that I was transferring to Name Com and I need a lot of answers but it seems that I'm alone.

I found that Name Com and Name Net belong to Domainsite.com(SPOT DOMAIN LLC DBA DOMAINSITE.COM), so i'll continue researching over internet about this provider.

So you can save money with them, but at your risk...

To be fair, I have used Name.com to search for available domains. Not until recently I bought domains there and now they´re very cheap, $5.99. But now their server is down and so all domains I have there, and probably many others, are also down.
I think that few accept this. Whatever happened, they will surely lose customers because of this.
Name.com is in some way same as Domainsite, which doesn´t show up either.

A couple of days ago, I sent an email to them asking two simple questions. I got a reply but only with the message that he who replied couldn´t understand my questions! Unbelievable. I had asked how many domains that can be hosted in their webhosting, in one webhosting account. And if so, how many database that are available to have in this web hosting account. How can anyone not understand that..?

I wrote again, even more clear but I think just repeated the question. I haven´t got an answer yet, after ca 3-4 days.

Better than any registrar

for me, it is much better than any registrar. only feature i would like them to add is grouping functionality of domains. it would be great to be able to categorize the registered domains.

Very good registrar for your money.

I use name.com for about a year now.

Pros: all the needed options including editable DNS records (you can put your own TXT/MX/... records), IDN domains support, inexpensive whois privacy, very good price - especially their special price for new registrations now :-), nice security options. I only used their customer support once by email - and the response was quick enough and helpful, convenient domain finder on the home page - it's my favorite.

Cons: User interface sometimes doesn't look very clear (that's why I needed to contact their customer support). I had some problems with PayPal payment so I use credit card for all payments there. 2 or 3 times their website was not available (gave some error when I tried to login, or just didn't respond).

In general - compared to, for example, Moniker, it doesn't look very solid, but in fact it gives you more for your money.

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.

They offer bulk nameserver editing option. Select the domains for editing and in the right column you will find "Bulk Domain Management". Expand it and you will find "Edit Name Servers". Expand it and input your nameservers into the text fields and click "Change". Thatz it.

Thanks for this info. Rep added. I mentioned this in the main forum a while back but the respondent didn't think it was possible. I will also inform them that it can be done
