Hello all, there has been a good amount of recent talk about sav.com especially about the problems with dan.com which I still don't have a clear grasp of on the conflict.


Anyways I decided to give them a try because of their low pricing & no fee backorders.


Pricing:

Cheapest non-promo .com .net .org .co & .io (as far as I know) registrations, transfers, and renewals.


Backorders:

No fee! only had to pay their cheap registration price! Only backorder I've used so far that has captured the name for me & again it required no fee!


There are some small issues though that should be resolved:

I received tons of registrant/contact info emails for my email changing within 2 emails I use (not sure how that even happened) & 99% of those emails included invalid/expired confirmation links. & they weirdly use their I'm guessing old registrant name: nameking.com for the confirmations.


I would also like to see more info on the backorder panel like other providers such as:
  • Current registration
  • Expiry date
  • Domain status

Checkout process:

Easy & no upsells! But payment methods are limited, either card or check (who still pays with checks?). No PayPal, I know a lot of people want it but if you want to use PayPal in places that don't accept it, get their debit card & pay with that.



Domain Management:

DNS: Pretty easy to use. It looks like they look Cloudflare to manage DNS instead of their own system which is a first.

The interface is nice & simple, would like to see the upcoming renewal price, this is also a con of Porkbun as well, I don't like hidden or hard to find renewal costs.

Being able to label & categorize domains would be good too.



Domain Selling:

Not an Afternic partner, not on Sedo MLS but offers Sedo domains? Maybe they are still working on it.



Support:

Their support page has no submission form so you have to manually contact, no live support & no ticket system. It's been over a week & they have not responded to my email.



Extras:

This is obviously not well centered

I like their pricing list https://www.sav.com/domains & how it shows which extensions have premium priced domains.


I cut them some slack since it's a new platform & look forward to the improvements and hopefully, I am not getting scammed!


For those wondering who runs Sav as I did:

(Not sure what they mean by this: Your new A.I. digital identity designer.)

@DigitalRoar thanks for the review and we appreciate your suggestions! We are always working on improving and have forwarded your suggestions to our product team. Regarding the support ticket you mentioned, do you mind DMing me the ticket number? No ticket should go more than 1 business day without a response so I would like to look into to that and see what the delay is.

A domain has transferred to your platform based on WHOIS but it's nowhere to be found and nor should it take as long as 10 days to arrive.

You guys have such a problematic platform. A domain has transferred to your platform based on WHOIS but it's nowhere to be found and nor should it take as long as 10 days to arrive. I guess I got what I paid for.
I would be happy to take a look if you want to submit a ticket then DM me your email. Typically transfers show up in Sav account within 15-30 mins of arriving so we will want to see what happened.
