Is GoDaddy Only King?

[domains125]

I saw some guys here want to buy names with Godaddy Only.
Is Godaddy Only Reliable and King in this Industry?
Is it OK to buy names with other Registrars too, according to Domainers.
I am asking because Godaddy don't give any discounts.
Other Registrars have Promos Time to Time.
If I want to buy 100 Names in $1 / $2 Promo I need $100 / $200 But If I want to buy same names with Godaddy I need $1100. It will be difficult to make profit if invest that much money at once.
Also I see these guys want to buy GD Names at $0.50 to $2.
Is it Godaddy Promotion Tactics?

Thanks in Advance.

Two of my favorites are NameSilo and DynaDot. Have all the features necessary with good prices, great tech support and easy control panels.

Its not about the empire, In my opinion people feel comfortable in known scenario.

 

[biggie]

Nope. But they are the largest elephant in the Jungle.

ummm, didn't Bob Parsons shoot that elephant a few years back

imo....

Buy Low .. Sell High. That is Only Mantra. Don't care about Registrars.

From what I see, GoDaddy is good for first year registrations and their "new panel" is much better than what they had earlier. Though I personally prefer Namesilo and Namecheap. Somehow I find them more "trustworthy".

My 2c

Domains are registrars are like coffee

You can get cheap machine coffee or proper coffee and yes the difference in price is considerable

But proper coffee tastes better and is worth the extra cost

But paying more doesn't guarantee that you get proper coffee.

 

[frank-germany]

to me they are the worst in terms of usability

I would always have as little domains at gd as possible

if that is true
I will leave them even faster ..

Another +1 for NameSilo. It just works. Intuitive control panels. Never had a problem with them. FREE privacy if you like too.

Alpnames is better than GoDaddy.
GD don't even offer .top TLD.

 

[NamesMax]

My personal favorite is Epik.com. I have names in a dozen or so registrars. 1. Epik (ease of transfer in, no commission marketplace, etc)

Hey there, while there are other registrars out there, it all comes down to preference. I like GoDaddy personally because of their discount domain club. I like that I can get .com's especially for new and renewals for $8.29 I believe it is now. I also like their account security options whereas some other registrars are lacking as far as two factor authentication goes.

Besides GoDaddy, another popular registrar is Uniregistry who also has some pretty great rates as well!

 

[Kuffy]

I like NameSilo because you can accept payments in Bitcoin

 

[Kuffy]

I've only got one name with GD. I keep the account in case I want to buy a cheap push from a forum poster.

The reason you see "GODADDY ONLY" mentioned is because it is very fast, easy and efficient to transfer or "PUSH" domains from one Godaddy account to another Godaddy account.

Well they seem to be very expensive. I've just received an email offering .com regs at 45% off, and they are still more expensive than my other 2 registrars.

 

[Shianna-EBN]

You gotta understand, regular godaddy accounts are really meant for businesses and not so much domainers. If you want to be a domainer on godaddy's platform, you MUST sign up for the discount domain club. As long as you have 15+ .com or similar priced tld's, you will be saving more than other registrars.

I don't think they're a king. They're just the largest registrar in domain industry. Beside GD you can buy at some big guys such as name, namecheap, namesilo,...

No.

Yes. Many good alternatives like Uniregistry, Name.com, Dynadot, Porkbun, NameCheap and NameSilo.

 

[platey]

I'm not that fussed about price $10 for a. Com is a fair price

I can't be doing with wasting time trying to find coupons and bargains etc

Time is money

The time saved not trying to find promotional coupons etc can be wisely spent buying domains

@domains125 ... Follow the Profitable sellers / Flippers .. Let them laugh who joined before 10 yrs and not even sell 10 Names.

Or you know, just don't care about what registrar he uses according to your advice.

Not sold 10 domains? I have sold many many many domains over the last 10+ years. Many as a reseller, many to end users. Because I don't brag about it or I'm not a "domain celebrity" doesn't mean I don't know what I'm doing. There's a big world out there outside of Namepros you know? Haha.

I'm also a registrar myself. Well done on your wise perception. Haha.

 

[Dave]

Then what are you doing here Man ....... NamePros is our world.

I'm here to discuss domains, maybe once in a while do some deals and offer my advice and experience where possible. You know, actually useful advice, unlike "don't care about the registrars". You realise how daft that statement sounds?

 

[Dave]

The guy I talked to specifically said that he thought I would be able to sell FindYourHonda.com for a few thousand dollars.

No idea who that guy is, but think for a moment perhaps why he said that. Come on now, you're smart enough to know that domain isn't even worth $0, right?

Good luck!

 

[Rinkuji]

Don't take it personally .......

Yes that is a good thing to write. Still doesn't mean it is right to state "don't care about the registrars". That is all. Have a nice day/afternoon/evening

Don't take it personally. New domainers like me always want good advice from you seniors..
Its actually 2 am night here ..... so Good Night.

 

[Dave]

Don't take it personally .......

I didn't take anything personally. I like good lighthearted banter from time to time. Who doesn't? Good night.
