the most slowly registrar on the earth.
no dns edit option. no push.
Russian support in chat
dns Zone you cant add cname mx a name etcWhat do you mean by "No DNS edit option". I have changed NameServers?
So, push is not possible, only transfer out?
correct no pushSo, push is not possible, only transfer out?
money charged a few hours ago domains still don't registered. ticket created no response chat is useless
correct no push
no idea. in my experience :buyers do not want to create an account on hostpapa.Maybe it is required to open a ticket and request push? For example, Exabytes has that procedure. But I guess it would take them 10 days for a push

when the sale will end?
I moved out 6 from them earlier this month (they were all outside the 60 day lock period). I used the control panel to unlock the domain name, then used the control panel to request the Auth Code that arrived in my associated email almost instantly, I then went to the registrar I wanted to move them to, initiated the transfer. Now unlike some places I did not get the reject or expedite email from them until the next day, at which point I approved the transfer and it happened right away. In other words it was as smooth as any other registrar for transfer. Note that they do NOT have a push option, as far as I can tell, so within the 60 day lock period you will not have an option, however.ist easy to push out/transfer out domains before the end of the first years with hostpapa?

If anyone is buying make sure you turn off the extra stuff that is automatically added and that you get the price expected before you pay. For me I had to process them as 5 separate orders, but maybe I was missing something with a cart. And if same as in their late November special, there is a significant delay after you pay until they are set up in your account. For me the delay ranged from a few hours to just over a day (and I am from Canada and already a customer so that probably expediated things as HostPapa I think started as a Canadian company 16 years ago).
The main downsides, that you have to weigh in deciding if price is worth it are...
I decided it was worth it to buy a few, and once 60 days past will list them for sale at DAN and my own website.
- No push so can't sell during lock period (I think - perhaps through customer service by a request possible?)
- They are not a fast-transfer premium network registrar for Afternic or Sedo
- I don't think it is possible to add DNS records so the Sedo verification could only be done via the DNS pointing to their parking (I might be wrong). It is of course easy to set the DNS settings themselves, so no problem pointing to your lander. There is an Epik work around for the other records, I think.

Do they accept paypal?
Yes I used PayPal there today!Do they accept paypal?
Note that HostPapa is far from new - have been in business 16 years, although their main focus is providing web hosting and related services. Their domain registrations are handled by another company (at least for .com) (PromoPeople) although the doomain names appear in your HostPapa control panel.I usually avoid these new unknown registrars
