Registering with Fabulous.com

[dan_Vt]

Has anyone had any problems using Fabulous.com registration services?

I've registered a couple with no problems so far, and the rates are good, but for some reason I'm worried that they really don't want you transferring the name out...but I may just be paranoid.

Anyone transferred a name out? Any issues?

no registar really wants you to transfer a domain out of there service, they lose money.

Yeah, I understand that. But there are some unethical ones out there that try their best to block you from doing it, and even hijack them. I'm just looking to see if anyone has had trouble with them.

to be completely honest with you, I have never used them. I wouldnt either because the failure to list prices on there main page, and its really horrible to navigate throughout that site

i've registered about 50 names thru fabulous. but wont be getting any more. the problem i find is not with their service (which is quite good), but as i understand it, anytime a name is sold, it can't be easily pushed unless the buyer is also a fabulous.com member. this is just the nature of their system, and it makes sense to me, but as a result, it makes the names harder to sell without first transferring them to a different registrar. otherwise, their pricing is right on (especially for .net names) and their customer service is excellent.

it should also be noted that fabulous is a PPC system, and domain registration seems to be more of an added bonus for members -- it is not their main business and is probably why prices are not listed for the public.

Yeah, I use them for parking. I've been fairly happy with that aspect.

Thanks for the info.

I have regged 200+ domains with fabulous and I have never got a problem.

Names transfer out just as easy as with any registrar. And just as with most registrars they are easily puhed to a user with an account. If they don't it's quite simple aswell, have an account have them set one up.

They aren't really in the business of selling registrations it just an added service to their parking.

i have dozens of .com with fabulous, but haven't had transferred any yet.
good to hear that they are doing very well in that regards..

Never heard of that registrar.........

But anyway I am Going to try it.

You people say its good. And yeah one can transfer a domain name only if its 60 days old. That infact goes to any registrar in this world

I can't think of any instance where pushing a domain within fabulous or transfering out would be a problem. I'm really happy with their service and overall quality.

Mike, thanks for the reassurance. I've never had problems with Fabulous, everything's been great so far...it's just my paranoia seeping through

I have registered over 1200 names with fabulous and have never had any problems. I have even transfered names out of fabulous to WildWestDomains and found it no differnt from any other register.

I find fabulous register great for the software and support. Its very easy to change nameservers or locking etc... If i wanted to change something on Wild West domains it takes many screens and clicks to do what i want.

I think you said it, you're being paranoid
