[equity78]

In a poll that was not as celebrated as best registrar, Dynadot won the title for something many registrars find important. Safety. Things like a registrars’ overall security.

You can still renew your domain

You can still renew your domain

No way..names directly transferred out of my account. You lost your control.

Dynadot used to force me to provide personal identification, and this has nothing to do with ICANN's requirements, just their own information collection.

Similarly, I found that they have different servers in different countries. (Some information can be found at the bottom of the homepage).I do not know why they did, maybe they come from the founder of China,IMO

Thank you everyone for the support!

We would only remove domains from your Dynadot account at the end of their grace renewal period, we still provide registrants with their full grace renewal period if the domain was won at auction by another user.

We do sometimes require a copy of ID for verification purposes, this would usually only be requested when changes to account information had been requested such as the disabling of 2FA or updating of an email address. We only use the identification to verify its the account holder we're helping access or modify the account in these cases.

i have two .tv domain registered with Uniregistry in late grace / early redemption, usually I can get them back within uniregistry system, however, it showed names have been transferred away by dynadot. When I noticed, the domains have been auctioned and can no longer get back

This Is super embarrassed. How come dynadot can touch uniregistry names?

This happened a lot of times in previous years

Plus,

When my names in the last two days of grace period, dynadot forbidden to transfer away because you can not unlock and get the auth codes.

Even within the grace period, you have to email their staff to ask them unlock and receive the auth code.

 

[Seyikp]

I give it to dynadot, they are one of the best in the industry.

They are taken out of your account on day 40. I don't think that's unreasonable AT ALL. You can still renew domains which are in the auction. Even a day or two after the auction is completed.

Then compare to other registrars, this is not competitively fair to me.

1), more steps to order auth code
2), shorter time allowed to transfer away
3), names transferred to other registrars, still possibly transferred back to their auction market
4), names within grace period, late fee $10?

least DD aftermarket names are locked 30 days, half of GD 60.

Godaddy no good either.

Godaddy no good either.

You put Dynadot on Godaddy's level

Godaddy is my least favorite.

 

[Name Trader]

Lol "either"

@Dynadot, fix the wrong, wronged him

There are very few registrars which allow you to freely renew your domains up to 40 days. Albeit that is with a $10 redemption fee in the last 10 days. So you can renew up to 30 days without penalty. It would be interesting to know which registrars @omelet is referring to.
