Fastest Registrar

[Ray]

What is the fastest registrar..

My favorite is NameCheap.com. I like them because the domains seem to become available right away and there is no 24 hour wait like that of Godaddy & other registrars.

Another reason I like them is nothing ever takes too long to update. Whois info and nameservers are near updating immediatly.

I dont find a 24hr wait with GD - All my registration go straight through and whois etc normally updated with 1-2hr

Hope this helps,

DynaDot is the fastest I've used.

I would have to agree with DynaDot. They are quite fast aswell.

Don't the domains go into a pending status though?

Nope, I only use GD and always get the name in my account and confirmation etc within an hour some time 15 mins - Only ever had longer with .co.uk as nomninet can take longer but had that issue everywhere!

I stick with GD - Good prices and no hassles!

Possibly, but not that I've noticed. I've literally reg'd a name there before, set it to forward, browsed to it right away and been forwarded.

I have always been able to use the domain soon as I registered it.
generally its something to do with your PC that prevents you from seeing the page once you update your name servers.

Dynadot. Most definitely.

its seems like everytime i register a domain with godaddy or register.com it takes a good while for the domain to become available.. I get the message . Please wait 24-48 hours for your order to process

Godaddy always works instant for me. long as I dont type the domain into my browser before I set the name servers I can use it instantly. What I do is when I register the domain set the NS at that time. I then setup the hosting account on the server and its active.

Yes, NameCheap is very fast and has good customer service. But I like Godaddy, after payment the domain is instantly added to your account which I like :D

I second that. If I'm logged in and have a balance there you all better watch out

Whenever I register a domain at godaddy, register.com or even registerbird, the domain shows up in my account pretty much instantly. There is no 24 or 48 hour wait. If you are talking about when you update the nameservers, yes sometimes there is a wait. This is normally because of DNS propogation. Also, if you have visited the domain before changing the nameservers, your computer's cache or the local DNS server from your ISP may have the old version of the site cached locally. If it is cached on your computer, that is something you can take care of easily. If the site is cached on a local DNS server from your ISP, then you will have to possibly wait a little while for it to be updated.

Beyond any doubt... Name.com. Superfast checkout. Domain immediately in account. Change nameservers and your good to go. Resolves almost immediately.
