Best place to register domains?

[thejoegreene]

I hope I didn't make a big mistake my useing yahoo to register some domains.
What sites are best if you plan and try to sell the domain in the future.

Also I read something that said I have to wait 60 days to transfer my domain to another register. Is this the case for most place?

You made a mistake using yahoo :p (to an extent)

use godaddy/namecheap/enom or namepros imho

I think Yahoo is fine. If you like the price and the user interface then you are fine. When you start buying a lot of domains you will need to be able to forward and change whois and nameservers so keep that in mind.

I use (and resell) GoDaddy services. Look around my site for more information for newbies.

Sedo and Afternic for sales but I think most sales come from buyers finding you.

The 60 hold is ICANN mandated and applies to every registrar. After sixty days you can request transfer out from your new registrar of choice.

Good luck and read through my site. I address a lot of these types of questions.

I recomend Godaddy.com or here at Namepros.

Godaddy.com is the most used domain registered service, so it is very good.

Namepros.com helps support this site and there prices are very competitive also. You can transfer it to any Enom account.

Yahoo is fine, I actually have 1 there... But if your going to resell it, don't register it there. They don't have free transfers, it cost money to transfer the domain. But if your developing the domain, thats fine.

Hi,
It seems Someone in this forum has complained about Yahoo service??? I do agree that Godaddy is good one. I have registered some names with them and also with Luckyregister (In fact they are all resell for WD but the prices are not alway the same)

For bulk register, Godaddy is the good one. If you will transfer your domians to others, reselling is your business, then Yahoo is not a good service provider in this case.

I use namecheap, followed by godaddy

 

[bentong]

this is the best place to register a new domain :imho:

Godaddy hands down IMO, other would be enom w/ reseller account.

 

[boja]

i use godaddy, namecheap, and domainsite.com
but i think domainsite.com is a good one. they have $6,99 for .com/net/org and $1,99 for .info
they have URL Forwarding domain statistic also

Have you guys read whats happening with godaddy lately? Just browse the boards a little.

I would seriously reconsider using & advising others to use them.

I use Godaddy and Enom. Registering at Yahoo is ok if you don't intend to transfer and resell and the 60 day transfer restriction is applicable to all registrars.

I use:

Namecheap: very nice. 7.99 for a domain if you use "save7993",

Registerfly: kind of unstable nowadays, I have 30 DN there but
will not get any more there. Quite nice otherwise, a little expensive
if you don't catch their promos though....

Domainsite: Cheap domains with their basic service + cheap .infos

Godaddy. I keep all of my domains there so that I don't have to deal with forgetting about a domain. However, that being said, I also have an account with FoxRocket because I have purchased a couple of domains someone who had the domains regged there. I don't have much experience dealing with FoxRocket, so I can't really say much other than their interface is nearly identical to GD's.

I used to use Godaddy all the time. Now I've reformed in my ways and use Namepros or Namecheap to register

My thoughts exactly.

GD thinks about themselves as the Internet police. Just study (read is not enough in this case) their terms/policies and THINK about what you have read... And, even after this you will even consider to do business with GD, something is really wrong with you...

Namecheap, DirectI, Moniker, Stargate. 4 names for all you'll ever need in domaining.

Good luck!

 

[theparrot]

I agree..... GD should be the place people are moving out of, not into.

I use enom and directi and plan to use Moniker for some names in the near future.

It looks like there still is the category of people out there for which the advertisement with half naked woman during the SuperBowl makes company #1. Sad, sad...
