Leaving GoDaddy

[liquidkudzu]

In the next four of five months, my domains are all up for renewal. I was with Yahoo Domains for years, then moved to GoDaddy when Yahoo raised their rates.
GoDaddy has been fine overall, but their control panel is too cluttered and their ads are just too tacky.
I am thinking about moving to another, so I would like some suggestions.
All I need is masked forwarding and forwarded email addresses. GoDaddy offers 100 forwarding addresses per each domain you own. That is kind of nice and fun to play with.
I want something easy, clean, decent customer service (email service is fine), and around ten dollars per year for each .com
I have been looking at name.com and namecheap.com but am open to suggestions.

Dynadot.com is my favorite. They cost $9.25/year per .COM domain and their interface is the epitome of anti-clutter.

Enom Reseller @ $8.95/per ... I moved away from GoDaddy years ago due to their extremely cumbersome "free & easy push" system! :imho:

Name.com for me. Excellent overall.

 

[labrocca]

name.com
namecheap.com
dotster.com

My Recommendations:

Name.com
MyDomain.com
Moniker

Dynadot.com is my favorite. They cost $9.25/year per .COM domain and their interface is the epitome of anti-clutter.

I believe you can get it down to $7.50/year if you prepay your account balance with $500

 

[liquidkudzu]

At Namecheap.com they give email forwarding, but how many accounts per dotcom?
dynadot.com gives 10 email forwarding accounts per each dotcom

I kind of like those two since they offer PayPal as a payment option.

I would vote namecheap as well. I tend to use Fabulous.com myself, but they are limited on what extensions they support.

To answer your question about forwarding, it looks like 5 per domain @namecheap (anyone who uses namecheap more than I do, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong :red: ).

I think we all know Godaddy isn't in the top 10.
They go super cheap and then try to get money out of you the entire time you are there.
If you like their services and can put up with all the selling they try then great.

Which registrar renew .com is cheapest than $7.39 + $0.20 ICANN?

 

[seeker]

Moniker
eNom If you can get a reseller account (the best control panel)
name.com seems to be the 3rd best from what I see.

Get out of GD as soon as you can.

interesting ... i decided to move most of my domains to name.com

Godaddy is too cluttered and slow ... anybody else experience slooooooow

dns/forwarding changes that benefit their parked ads pages ? I believe

I lost hundreds of dollars because of this

Godaddy isen't that bad, however I understand where your coming from with there user panel, its very "cheap looking" and cluttered.

heres my fav:

namecheap.com
godaddy.com
name.com

star.registerbird.com offers low rates and free whois privacy, they do good sales from time to time too, and is owned by an active NP member snowbird.

If you are not satisfied with GoDaddy you can try NameCheap as an alternative.

 

[brianlai]

Moniker is good for me, but name.com offers free privacy

 

[Name Trader]

At Namecheap.com they give email forwarding, but how many accounts per dotcom?
dynadot.com gives 10 email forwarding accounts per each dotcom

I kind of like those two since they offer PayPal as a payment option.

Name.com offers PayPal payments, Also, GMAIL.

Hey liquidkudzu

Hit me up about Moniker! I can offer you $8.02 pricing with no additional ICAAN fees! :D

Thanks!!

How is Namecheap hosting ? 100GB space and 1000GB transfer for 6.95$ looks like a bargain.

I believe you can get it down to $7.50/year if you prepay your account balance with $500

It even gets a little cheaper if you spend over $5,000.
