The title pretty much says it all. I'm curious which registrars are the most popular for people with at least 100 domains, and why those particular registrars are of value to you.
@DKN As of my understanding, NameSilo does support Sedo MLS.
I'm right down the road from them, and they do! They call sometimes 2-3 times a week! I don't fault them too much for it, because they're just trying to make sure I'm happy, which is cool. But when they call that often and from different phone numbers, so I cannot label them in my phone, it gets a bit annoying
Ay, let's vote - https://www.namepros.com/threads/favorite-domain-registrar-poll.933122/
Namepros has never had a poll on this. The question gets asked a lot.
I prefer Namecheap over the others mostly because of their helpful live support and their support of good causes. I feel comfortable having my domains with them knowing they have my best interest at heart. Not many people pay attention to these little details but I do.
The only weakness of Dynadot are the slightly higher prices
You have to get ugly with them about calling you and they'll remove you from soliciting calls.My big three are:
Namecheap
Godaddy
Dynadot
lately I've shifted towards using Dynadot for most new registrations.
I like namecheap, but they're domain management leaves much to be desired.
I like Dynadot, however when trying to drop catch new gtlds by hand it can be frustrating because whenever the names have any kind of premium pricing they still list them at normal pricing, and when you check out it doesn't go through because of the pricing discrepancy. I have alarmed Dynadot of this "problem" (as it says in the domain status after checkout) but they seem unwilling to look into fixing it.
GoDaddy is a great registrar and I have a hosting account with them, however they're pricing is not great unless you have a coupon or have a premium account, which I should have but have not yet secured with them. They also call you all the time, to the point where it's almost annoying.
I use a google voice phone number for registrations.I had been using GoDaddy as my favorite registrar for about 10 years but have been transferring more and more domains of mine over to NameSilo. NameSilo has competitive pricing ($8.99 .com registrations), friendly support, and lifetime free whois privacy. I've found the whois privacy cuts down on a lot of the spam phone calls I was receiving.
I started using Dynadot specifically because they were consistently one of the cheapest. As soon as you spend $500/year with them, which is only 50 domains or so, their bulk pricing kicks in and they're cheaper than almost everywhere else (such as $8.75 for .coms).
Ask Uniregistry for a deal. You may get a better price
1$1 cheat with me. they are not professional.A potpourri of registrars. To be frank the most influencing factor for using a registrar is price. Except in cases like 1&1 where the customer service is reputedly bad you`d be better off with another registrar even if they are costlier
