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? :xf.wink:

Thanks in Advance.

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

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.

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?

My intention is clear to Newbies .. Don't buy High.
Lot of guys lost huge money just paying huge fees to registrars like GD.
And I saw they don't get even $1 Bid here ..

If you are looking to flip within the first 12 months, cost of domain registration is key. As of now, no one has been able to explain why any of the companies are better than the others. For hand registration why would I pay GoDaddy and Uniregistry more than eWallhost? I will try and sell on GoDaddy, but the first night I purchased my hand regs, I called in. The guy I talked to specifically said that he thought I would be able to sell FindYourHonda.com for a few thousand dollars. It does not seem GoDaddy has anyone's interest at heart other than their own. Ill likely let it expire as it is the essence of a trademark "concern" if ya know what I mean.

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 :).

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!

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

At the time I didn't know it was worthless to me. My only hope, and thats a prayer, is a Honda dealership that is active in secondary financing and that sort of thing . . . a sister lot to the primary Honda dealership. I know they exist bc guess what, I use to sell cars. Please don't think less of me! The lessons we learn;)

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)

I have actually had a few sales where the domain wasn't at godaddy and the end user wanted the name to be there. The name was with fasthosts and the lock period was on and lost the sale.
