is there a comparison of domains registries, including bulk domain registries?

[Advice Pro]

Since I don't need website or hosting or e-mail, the features I need are:

Certified Domain

Private Registration
Helps protect yourself from spam, scams, prying eyes and more by shielding your personal information from public view

Deadbolt Transfer Protection
Protects your domain against any accidental or malicious transfer.

I would suggest namecheap as I use them privacy is free and I believe they have all the features your asking for as well. I've never had any issues with them as of yet...hope this helps.

Certified domains are somewhat over priced in my opinion.
Your paying someone to basically make sure you are who you say you are.

Whois privacy is available through almost every single domain provider now, but some are starting to charge for it as they know people will pay!

The Deadbolt Transfer Protection can be achieved through any domain provider.
As long as you follow these 3rules:

1) Keep the domain locked at all times.
2) Never make your user name or password publicly known.
3) Make sure your account password is by no means a small unsecured password.

Have a hunt around and check out some of the medium sized domain providers as you might just save your self a few £ and still get exactly what you need!

Azlan, how did you mean to lock the website?

 

[azlan]

When you purchase a .com TLD part of the settings that come with it is the ability to lock / unlock it for transfers.

Every domain provider gives you the option.

If your domain is "Locked" then the domain cannot be transferred even by yourself.

If your domain is "Un-Locked" then the domain could possible be transferred by someone else and almost certainly by yourself.

I use namecheap for bulk orders.
I support azlan, you must always lock your domain for safety
