Name.com Opinions Please

[Cdomains]

I just registered my first few domains with name.com and I am thinking of registering more.

What is your experience with them.

Is it easy to transfer out after a sale?

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, does anyone know how to unlock a domain?

I see the unlock but it won't let me do it, anybody know?

Customer support is excellent, except it is email based, I personally like a ticket system better, so I don't have to wade through my emails. I had a few issues, Auth Code update on an IO, refund, for a regrettable .tel purchase, which they processed fine in a few days, they have grace delete depending on offer and TLD. I even called them on the old fashioned telephone to prefund my account for a promo and they followed up with ticket and got me the answer within a couple hours.

I have transferred many out no issue, but only to myself, renewals are high so I can't see myself keeping many names there, just taking advantage of happy hour and other promos

If they are new domains, they are likely locked by default, correct? And will become unlockable 60 days. I can do bulk actions unlock or individual no issues, all my domains are >60
HTH

PS and their Bulk Search is AWESOME, I was using it long before I was a customer, you can search 2000 names then download the results - occasional time outs but likely the most reliable bulk search, so much so I have a keyboard shortcut dedicated to it

Name.com is my favorite domain registrar. It use to be Domainsite.com years ago but then they changed or moved over to Name.com It was were I got my first domain name back in 2005.

To transfer domain to another account all you need is the other person's account number.

You can't transfer your domain to another registrar until 60 days have passed but you can transfer it to another name.com account.

I haven't had any issues with them yet.

Name/Rightside stole a domain from me.

Support is slowwwww, can take days to get a response. Good luck calling support, you'll be on hold forever. Domain search is annoying, they push new TLDs nobody wants to buy. Can't get Afternic approval emails to sent, even though they this bug was fixed. Bulk search is terrible, always times out. Use NameBright's.

Since Owen Borseth left a lot of backend technical has gone to crap and doesn't work. The new devs are on amateur hour.

Prices are continually rising for .com, .net, .org. Even if you get special pricing.

They charge 21% VAT upon the normal pricing for European customers
for everything.
