Reviews and information for Dynadot

ICANN accreditted registrar that not may people know about. The domain management interface is easy to navigate and actually makes sense.

One of the best new features is domain deletion within the first 5 days of registration for full credit to be used at a later date.

If you spend more than $500.00 per year, you qualify for our bulk prices.

I have more than 20 domains with them ! What i like :
* Fast support & live chat.
* User interface
* Expired domains marketplace

What i don't like :
* Anti fraud system is very strict
* Web hosting service !

But the overall service is great ! 9.5/10

OK. This is an old thread which has been resurrected. I switched from GoDaddy to Dynadot (at the highest discount level for both). I pay about $0.05 more than I did a GoDaddy for .coms but for most other gtld/cctld Dynadot are cheaper, except for .cc (but who wants too many of them). My main reason for changing was the GoDaddy BS regarding whois lookups. GoDaddy gave me only about 100-150 a day but Dynadot gave me 5000.

I like the Dynadot control panel also. I liked GoDaddy's CP as well. So that shows how quirky I am I haven't regretted the switch.

I have lots of domains with them. But I want tu update some things to this thread.
Very interesting, indeed good for IDN's etc..I'm happy with them.

BUT =>

* NO "FREE" GRACE DELETING ANY MORE (1, or 2 or 3 USD has to be payed).

* IF YOU PUT MONEY OR THEY OWE YOU MONEY THEY DON'T PAY YOU BACK ON CARD OR PAYPAL ONLY ON YOUR BALANCE TO SPEND WITH THEM (but there are registrars who do the same)

*BE VERY CAREFULL WITH THEIR MARKET (DOMAINS YOU PUT FOR SALE) => In another thread here at Namepros it is mentioned that if you put a specific price FOR a particular domain. (Even if it's 5.000 USD). => you don't get the money payed to you by Paypal or on your card or wire transfer => You get the money as BALANCE to spend at Dynadot.
However if you put it for sale without specific pricing, so "propose a price". it's different
=> In that case a buyer can propose a price, and you get that as message in your inbox at Dynadot. You can communicate untill an agreement is reached. And then you decide together how payment will be done and transfer or push is done with the buyer. So in this case the seller gets the full money.
WHAT'S SAD ABOUT THIS is that usually (according to Sedo) placing a specific price is BETTER TO SELL.
I don't understand why Dynadot keeps this like this.
I could agree with domains you post for sale for 50 USD. But amounts of 100 or 2.000 or more should at least be payed to your Paypalaccount or by wiretransfer. (maybe with a 5 or 10% commission or so fopr Dynadot).

I love Dynadot! They clearly outline every detail about their system, so if someone is unhappy about their services, it's really your own fault.

They're the best registrar by far. I don't know where I'd be in this business without them!

dynadot is great except when they do 'maintenance' (which is almost daily) the entire site goes down. not sure why they have it set up that way.

It is always daily. I haven't been bothered to verify what times of day they do this. Or if it's random. Quite often this is only for a minute or two. So if you go away and do another task for a couple of minutes and come back, it's often back online. But I agree, it's annoying when you encounter it.

What do you mean with Dynadot whois Bs => Is there a bulk search option for whois ?? And how does this work ?

@Domainstore - What I mean is that after about 100+ whois lookups in a day, GoDaddy block your access to their whois servers until the next day. Now there are times when this is ridiculously small, if you have thousands of domains in your account. There are going to be times when 100+ lockups is going to be way too small. Dynadot allows you to have 5k whois lookups a day. At least at my service level. Problem solved. As I said in that old post, that was the main reason, but there were others, why I left GoDaddy. I'm actually happy I left. But it does make things a tad more difficult with sales. Everyone has an account with GoDaddy and wants their domains they purchase there. I can understand their reasoning

I don't search so much whoisses a day.
BUT => Isn't it the case that when you do a dynadot-whois-search for domains that are registerred at Godaddy, the whois of Dyndot refers to the godaddy-whoissearchpage ? That's what I have seen several times.

 

[Name Trader]

Yes. But you cannot do hundreds or thousands of whois lookups manually.
