Most secure registrar?

[ruzeen]

The most secure registrar to store premium domains in?

Please help.
Thanks.

For me never had a issue with losing any domain's including a ll.com, nn.com and a load of other valuables at Fabulous.com

Really also impressed with NameBright.com

Fabulous.com
NameBright.com

Switch on two step verification and no ones getting in!

Thanks bro. Fabulous is great but their member requirements are way off for me.

Net Sol hands down..... Hard as hell to transfer/push a name there legit, can't imagine how hard it would be trying to steal one....

register.com for the same reason as above :p

For years Moniker claimed to be the most secure registrar. But not any more.

Their Reseller Control Panel just scared off all those Resellers who capture domains from NameJet/SnapNames. All my domains at Moniker Resellers just got pushed to NetSol. Approx 15 of them. IceDude could be right. It's impossible to get an Auth Code for any NetSol Reseller registered domain at NetSol. I'm going to file an ICANN complaint (my first), about them if I can't get the Auth Codes within the next week.

The new owners of Moniker have really taken them into the toilet.

I have a valuable LLL along with few other premiums, and they're currently @ GoDaddy. Any advice?

Keep it locked, don't use your whois email as your account email, don't use the same email/username/password as your GoDaddy account on another site, and enable two-step verification....

Then, you should be fine... Oh yeah, and never click on links on "GoDaddy" emails.... Go directly to the site to check anything...

@IceDude thanks bud, appreciate it!

Since my account name isn't my email address, why would it matter if I used my whois email as my account email? Even if it was, my password is unguessable in any useful timeframe.

What's wrong with clicking on GoDaddy email links?

 

[Name Trader]

Because, If the thief breaks into your email account, they can reset your password at GoDaddy... and poof all your domains are gone. They are less likely to guess your email account if you use 1 for your whois and 1 for your GoDaddy a/c. This is assuming you use the same email address for both.

As for clicking GoDaddy email links. There are many phishing schemes using GoDaddy links in their emails.

Where have you been living?

Haven't had an issue with GoDaddy in 11 years. Have an account rep and basically entire account locked down. My rep has to call me at a phone number not listed in whois and I have to give him the secret word, phrase, number etc... or all transfers denied. So basically I could hand out my login information but without having the right phone to accept the call and knowing what to tell him nothing will move from my account. So ya would have to know which phone of mine to steal and beat me for the secret password to tell them.

 

[Name Trader]

Yeah. But not everyone has this same level of security on their accounts.

 

[SpareDomains]

used to be 300+ domains but then they reorganized their categorization of accounts so not sure what the current threshold is to get one.

I have been with godaddy for years and never had an issue, lately i am getting verification emails for names i no longer own (one is available to register) …… i dont click the link and have reported it but godaddy's response was piss weak but i know better than clicking links in emails. But when when things go wrong sometimes there is not much you can do about it ………halverez, chef patrick. I do not claim to know all about these incidents but it was enough to cause a stir each time and demonstrated when people are in charge of something they can become corrupted for different reasons.

Oh, that. My whois email address is an alias that can't be used to login to my email account.

A fraudulent link isn't a GoDaddy link.

I've noticed that some registrars don't appear to allow you to have an account email address that's different from your whois email. name.com, for example. Some of the backorder services too (NameJet, Pheenix). BackorderZone won't let you change your account email address.

Not true. You just have to verify whatever email is on your whois.

How does that give me an account email that's different from my whois email?

You lost me.....

It does not matter, just use the same emails...

Keep it simple for now...
