Registrar Loyalty
Brand loyalty is an important facet of business today. We all must strive to make a brand of something and retain all possible customers. However, is registrar loyalty feasible in this industry while trying to manage a large portfolio?

Domains Ending in Z
There have been quite a few domain sales with –Z, but does that make them effective at being a brand name?

One registrar? Impossible if you are at all a shopper. Godaddy is for .ca .us .info .org(for now while promo is going on) .com when I can get a code working etc. BigRock is for all my main .biz .org .net purchases. sometimes .com if bundled with .net(when applicable) for the discount. and Namecheap for .io and most other new cc or gtlds. finally dreaded 1&1, the 1 by 1 domain edit name server registrar.. Changing NS's has the devil running one of the reg businesses as they tried to make you smash your head in the wall when changing some hundreds of domains name servers, 1 by 1, **Not to mention i have 40 different login Ideas due to their 'random cut off number for .99cent .nets .coms // Beaware, they will take our PR 7 and 6 domains if you order a lot in an hour individually, the only way to get them , continuously for .99cents com/net -- is the trade off worth it? I doubt it if you're going for good quality domains.. 1&1 degrades value to some due to the nasty roadblocks they have put in place so you stay with their NS's , free promoting for them, because its so ridiculous to change even just 100 domains, let a lone a few hundred, 50% on 1 ID, 50% of separate ids.. ugh, Thats my bit for this for now..(Btw, 1&1 said i met their 'biased-motivated , human descion to cut me off on .99 domains for c.om.net so no more buying form them every again ,ever. -- They have servers that load about 1/4 the speed of what im use to , looking for when getting registrars. Big rock is the easiest for changing NS's,due to the quick loading CP and easy access. Godaddy i like bestjust beacuse everyone would like theirs on godaddy for selling on aauctios + NS pointing to sedo for double free auctions , BIN domains. Name.com for .de domains and bulkk searching for nnnn llll .com in bulk, every so oftenincase one drops and goes unnoticed :P

/Nod, thanks for the infomatic thread start.

Are you able to disclose the name or industry that it was in?

David, it was a single generic word, where the plural obviously would have been -s. I consider that a lucky flip.
