Reviews and information for Dynadot

ICANN accreditted registrar that not may people know about. The domain management interface is easy to navigate and actually makes sense.

One of the best new features is domain deletion within the first 5 days of registration for full credit to be used at a later date.

If you spend more than $500.00 per year, you qualify for our bulk prices.

dynadot is great except when they do 'maintenance' (which is almost daily) the entire site goes down. not sure why they have it set up that way.

It is always daily. I haven't been bothered to verify what times of day they do this. Or if it's random. Quite often this is only for a minute or two. So if you go away and do another task for a couple of minutes and come back, it's often back online. But I agree, it's annoying when you encounter it.

OK. This is an old thread which has been resurrected. I switched from GoDaddy to Dynadot (at the highest discount level for both). I pay about $0.05 more than I did a GoDaddy for .coms but for most other gtld/cctld Dynadot are cheaper, except for .cc (but who wants too many of them). My main reason for changing was the GoDaddy BS regarding whois lookups. GoDaddy gave me only about 100-150 a day but Dynadot gave me 5000.

I like the Dynadot control panel also. I liked GoDaddy's CP as well. So that shows how quirky I am I haven't regretted the switch.

What do you mean with Dynadot whois Bs => Is there a bulk search option for whois ?? And how does this work ?

@Domainstore - What I mean is that after about 100+ whois lookups in a day, GoDaddy block your access to their whois servers until the next day. Now there are times when this is ridiculously small, if you have thousands of domains in your account. There are going to be times when 100+ lockups is going to be way too small. Dynadot allows you to have 5k whois lookups a day. At least at my service level. Problem solved. As I said in that old post, that was the main reason, but there were others, why I left GoDaddy. I'm actually happy I left. But it does make things a tad more difficult with sales. Everyone has an account with GoDaddy and wants their domains they purchase there. I can understand their reasoning

I don't search so much whoisses a day.
BUT => Isn't it the case that when you do a dynadot-whois-search for domains that are registerred at Godaddy, the whois of Dyndot refers to the godaddy-whoissearchpage ? That's what I have seen several times.

Yes. But you cannot do hundreds or thousands of whois lookups manually.
