discuss Discovering Dynadot: A Game-Changer for My Domain Flipping Journey

[X MAX]

As a beginner in domain flipping, with fewer than 50 domains acquired in just three months, I’ve already invested over 500 hours into learning the craft. Since the start, I’ve relied primarily on Porkbun as my go-to registrar. They offer a clean, user-friendly experience, and their pricing—around $11.06 per .com—is reasonable. However, some aspects require manual effort, such as setting up DNS and listing domains on marketplaces like Sedo and Afternic.


I’ve always been hesitant about change, but after hearing positive feedback about Dynadot, I decided to give it a shot—especially with their limited-time $6.99 .com offer until March 31st. What I found was eye-opening. The platform’s efficiency, automation, and seamless user experience made domain management far easier and faster than I expected.


Initially, I planned to use Dynadot only for new purchases, but after experiencing its ease of use, I’m now seriously considering transferring my existing portfolio from Porkbun to Dynadot. I’ll give it more time before making a final decision, but this experience has reinforced a valuable lesson: keep exploring, keep learning, and you’ll always find better, faster, and more cost-effective solutions.

My question to you: Have you ever stuck with a tool or platform for a long time, only to later discover something far easier or more cost-effective and thought to yourself, I wish I had known about this earlier?

Definitely. It was at GoDaddy. Moved 99% of my domains to Porkbun.

Thanks for your input,
Any specific reason for choosing porkbun over the other registrars?

Any specific reason for choosing porkbun over the other registrars?

To name a few reasons. Porkbun democratizes domain pricing, providing consistently low rates that typically surpass GoDaddy's "discounted" (DDC) offerings, while maintaining a non-intrusive upselling approach. Their simple yet powerful interface facilitates bulk domain management, and their support for both Afternic Fast Transfer and Sedo Fast Transfer enhances transfer speed. I've found their tech support to be incredibly helpful and consistently successful in resolving any issues. Small, motivated team. Founder has an impressive track record.

Before finalizing your decision, did you compare multiple registrars?
Seems to me from your impact that you have a lot of experience in Domain investing
Any other tool you were using and discovered a better one eventually?

There are a lot of good registrars out there. Some are Porkbun, Dynadot, SAV, and Spaceship.

Do you prefer sticking with one registrar or using different platforms? And what's your favorite?

Hi

as a beginner, and the threads you've created so far, it seems you've been flip flopping all over the place.

heeding advice is a good thing, but it depends on Who, is giving it.

you won't have much success if you keep jogging from one venue to the next, before you even get to know your names.
slow your roll, and give one or two places time to produce or not. then if necessary, try others.

all these threads and varied opinions will only add to your confusion in trying to make decisions.

as is, nobody knows what domains you own, so which registrar and what landers really don't matter if you have crappy names that will never sell.

we've seen it before.

imo....

I use to be with about 4 or 5 different registrars because of the sales they were having. Whoever had the best price for .com, .net, or .org domains I would open a account. It can be confusing. I would forget which domain is where. They don't have many sales like they use to. I just stick with about 2 registrars now.

I appreciate your advice, and I just want to clarify a few points:

1. I know I’ve been asking a lot of questions in a short time, but that’s because I spent about three months learning and researching before actively engaging. Now that I’ve started asking, all my questions are coming together at once.
2. I fully understand the importance of being selective about where I take advice. This is a highly competitive market, and while some people don’t want others to succeed, there are also valuable insights that can help save time, money, and effort—especially in the beginning (as mentioned in this topic)
3. As for my domains, I know they’re not top-tier yet, but I can see my selection improving. I’m refining my approach, and I believe with time and experience, hopefully my portfolio will get stronger.

That said, I do appreciate the input and always welcome constructive feedback.

Well said, I think I may stick with 2 or 3 max also so I don't have many open tabs in my browser

Whoever gives the cheapest....
All at the cost.
