HostPapa $0.99 .COM domain

[luantt]

Hi folks,
I see this promo today:

- new domain registration only
Offer will end at 10 am 26 September EST
anyone try this? About the limitation, I'm asking the support team

 

[wizard]

Me also waiting for my account verification since last 6-7 hours...limit is 5 domain per account

Thats another reason why i wouldn't use these guys normally spoke to them as they cant cope with all the orders and still massive delays only 8hrs ago thats just not good service...

 

[AuctionBio]

I also try to reg a domain, process completed successfully via paypal payment.
But than found that the domain is not registered... and also found from this thread that they do verification first...
Really bad practice, I would say...
I had to register the domain with other registrar because i picked that domain from expireddomains and didn't want to lose that....

Hahaa...yes..& their link also got expired after multiple attempts of uploading correct docs. Have to request a new one.

For a single domain, giving your ID to be stored online not worth.

Do you require ID verification after account creation, in order to be able to
register domains?

Gabriel N. 01:38:29 pm
That depends from order to order I am afraid. It is hard to tell

Ruben Couto 01:38:36 pm
Ok!
A couple more questions: 1) Is there any fee if I choose to move a domain name to
another Hostpapa account? 2) Is there any fee if I choose to move a name out of
Hostpapa, after the 60 day transfer lock?

Gabriel N. 01:40:40 pm
There are no fees for any of the above

Ruben Couto 01:41:04 pm
OK!
Is there a limit for the number of names I can register under the $0.99 promo?

Gabriel N. 01:41:48 pm
Yes, you may only register 5 domains only I am afraid

Ruben Couto 01:41:54 pm
I see!
Thank you!

[handpicked]

Yes, they cheated me, I lost my domain + money + credit card info + time. Don't go for it.

What? did they ask you naked photo or something like that?

Yes.
I just registered 5 names using the promo.
(I'm not vouching for them.)

 

[keston57]

Not all countries allowed am afraid

 

[buohcom]

I just registered 1 domain with hostpapa. Order is still pending for several hours.
As a new customer, this experience is horrible. After ordering, which was quick and easy, they didn't tell me what happens next. I was left in the dark. I cannot login until order is verified. I cannot order more domains until then.

 

[CrazyOldGoat]

Saying domains that are available aren't available?

 

[adaaja98]

The way they treat new customer to wait is realy anoying. Does anybody know the track record of their company?

Yes, after almost a day I finally got verified. It is the most annoying thing I've ever encountered when registering a new domain.

Yes very strange system and delay in even registering a domain should be instant but it’s not

 

[adaaja98]

my purchase and registration is complete. But i just realize its hard just to register and you have to purchase something first.

I ask them can someone create account just to recieve push transfer from us without make any purchase, and they said they can open a ticket for the reciever to make account. But i dont know does the reciever has to do the "pain in the a$$" registration or not. I think we as domain seller should consider it.
But i think the promo is worth it even the registration is realy anoying

Btw if you are a pro, can you answer my thread question "1 word dictionary domain" in beginners section?
nobody answer it yet

 

[Beezy]

I see the deal is over. I received 9 names and don't know if my other 2 names are going to still be delivered or not, but happy with what I got. Thank you!

 

[Millionaire]

I got 27 names there...5 names are pending..lets see If I can get them also.

Yes, some process are manual as I think they are small registrar but full marks to their 24*7 live support, that is top notch which I think big registrar should learn from them. Great that you got more!..I got 6 accepted at squadhelp for premium listing, few more yet to submit.
