namecheap here - fast and easy contol panel

fab · 02-12-2007, 07:02 AM

Moniker or Dynadot

theozard · 02-12-2007, 09:36 AM

^^ Hey, just wondering...what does moniker have that namecheap does not?

networkmsia · 02-12-2007, 01:20 PM

dude, I am sorry to say, there is NO perfect company.

I used to think namecheap was a superb company.

But after reading their problems in this thread, looks like everyone has their own fault.

I have used Godaddy but havent had a problem with them. Namecheap is also good. but wut i think is that having 2 registrars is better then have all domains in same place.

theozard · 02-13-2007, 12:30 AM

^^ why so man? Because everyone tells me that having everything at one place is the best

leusmith · 02-13-2007, 12:34 AM

I have used a something like a......hidden domai registrar.not so popular 1012media.supersite.myorderbox.com
They seem to be good.
I have also found another dollar99domains.supersite.myorderbox.com

They seem to be affiliates of someone else.....

shahzad11 · 02-13-2007, 12:49 AM

i have a good experience with godaddy.com

AzN · 02-14-2007, 12:13 PM

Moniker

dotnom · 02-15-2007, 01:18 AM

1. Secure but higher price = Moniker.com
2. Average = NameCheap.com
3. Cheap and so far reliable for me = Domainsite.com

okapi · 02-15-2007, 03:43 AM

I like dynadot most.

jagusa · 02-15-2007, 03:50 AM

Moniker would be my choice. Hit the domain reviews section and you'll see numerous other registrars which would be bad choices. If you plan to sell domains, choose a rock solid registrar. I have refused to make even lowball offers for great domains simply because they were at a disreputable registrar.

abdussamad · 02-15-2007, 05:21 AM

The reason why you should spread your domains among multiple registrars is that if one goes down you still have access to your other domains. Its a case of avoiding putting all your eggs in one basket. Personally I like creativeon.com because they are a directi reseller and that means that if anything goes wrong I can just push my domain to any other directi reseller in the world.

jagusa · 02-15-2007, 12:24 PM

abdussamad makes a reasonable point about using multiple registrars. "Goes down" has two meanings: one is temporary inaccessibility, and the other is complete dissolution/bankruptcy. The registrar reviews can give you insight into the temporary inaccessibility issue. There's a thread about what happens if the registrar dissolves on the board somewhere. In the end, you'll want to find a registrar you think will be around for the life of your domain.

jnadel · 02-15-2007, 02:22 PM

Moniker
Dynadot
Domainsite

briguy · 02-19-2007, 04:15 AM

It's less of a headache too, if you're trying to move ALL your domains over to a new registrar, (as oppossed to half), should you decide to switch, or if the one you're with now turns out to be a crappy company later on.

troyb · 02-19-2007, 10:41 PM

I am a fan of namecheap

I have good experience with DomainSite. Good support and good price.

gotlinks · 02-20-2007, 02:47 PM

A fellow godaddy user, rep your way!

kdom · 02-22-2007, 09:16 PM

Best service - cheaper than Godaddy. Great panel if you have one or many domains and extremely easy to push after sales. Can't beat it.

Definitely not Godaddy. My best domain expired due to me writing down the wrong expiry date on my master sheet. I have over 40 names registered so keep tabs on them by checking my master list monthly and naturally, I received reminders from the domain registrars...or so I thought.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-newbies/293261-which-registrar.html

This particular name attracted a lot of attention and offers. I checked my websites after being on xmas holidays and it went to another website. When I checked, it had been onsold by Godaddy after being expired for 30 days. No email reminders from Godaddy at all. You might wonder why?

When I checked, I found that just somehow, my email address had somehow changed so reminders were going into cyberspace. After reading all the crap on Godaddy, I moved all my domains into one central registrar and I now check regularly.

By the way, the one registrar is namecheap. I can't fault them. Their backup is great, and their reminders are over the top, but hey, I can handle that as I don't want another godaddy problem.

Can anyone tell me how I find out how much my domain was sold for.
