SAV.com - $5.95 .com Registrations

[DaveX]

I haven't used them yet but I noticed they have .com for $5.95 and are icann accredited.

I noticed another member has been registering names with them.

Anyone have feedback about them?

@twiki Can you share your experience so far?

Your 2FA is half baked because it doesn't work with SMSes as of now, now there's no login time out because every time I refresh the page after say 5-6 hours it goes through fine, in fact I never had to log back since I created the account (though, it feels that I might have hit remember me but I am not able to recollect that , so please allow me some time to test that out)

Both Email and SMS are options for 2FA, although SMS is not support in all countries. You may just need to click the dropdown (see attached). There is a time limit on how long a login and 2FA session are valid for though.

My review:

Bulk search fails miserably, unregged names shown as taken.
Though I don't care much about payment methods since I mainly use my card, it seems too restrictive with only 1 payment method and without quick ways to remove an unused card. Doesn't matter Braintree and whatnot, customer perception matters more.
Somehow feels like yet another fancy-ish site with too many slowing-down scripts/codes.
Angering an established escrow (DAN) over a relatively small issue is one thing, but it seems that there's no intention to reconcile?
I thought there was a possibility of selling domains on SAV, but I sure don't find any way to do it. If there was, it's poorly done.
Things/Fixes don't seem to progress much at all after months (based on whatever issues stated here on this thread).

All in all, it gives the feeling of a part-time-registrar created out of a hobby, and I don't mean it in a good way. Not worth risking at the moment just to save a dollar or two on coms.

Until things improve, drastically, I'll be on the fence.

sav got bulk reg/search option? i was about to recommend they add it.

There is, but limited to 20 names and yet with horrible results. And I just realized that they even force you to log in just to search!

hmm i'l look for it... i guess its not so obvious where it is... or maybe im just not so smart lol

staying logged in is fine by me. i prerfer registrars that always keep us logged in.. at least from same device.. wastes less time. so im always logged in on sav. which is cool for me.

If anyone is still trying to find the bulk function, here's the pic for it. Front page screenshot. It's on the same area as the search box. It's slightly easier to find on mobile since they're forced to resize it bigger. Use it at your own risk.

I won't criticize anyone who can't find it, since it's a really bad design. Thin and small fonts with no highlight at all. This kind of thing is why no one should ask for so-called design updates (e.g. Afternic). I would rather have an ugly website that functions perfectly with easy-to-find buttons than to have a fancy modern website that fails to perform along with hard-to-find buttons. This also reminds me of the modern-day entertainment/gaming industry where companies nowadays sacrifice just about everything just for the sake of high tech graphics/cgi with no more good storytelling/comedy/etc. Nothing but graphics.

got it thanks
actually all i ever did on sav was operate the tabs like my domains (my starting link)... etc,,, so all i ever saw was that small input line on top that said to enter one domain to reg at a time.

if i am not mistaken, it seems the ONLY way to see what u showed is to click on SAV logo... to go to home screen... well... i just never went there... there is no possibility of reaching bulk reg any other way i think..not the most intuitive of designs i suppose... as just about all registrars I deal with show the bulk link on same page or next to a single domain reg input window.... maybe its something sav can add also @Nick R ............... its just a tiny link next to the domain search window that says BULK... and goes to same page as from homepage.. should be about 156.33 seconds to code it.......... ty for clarifying

Another thing: If you win an auction and your card could not be charged, then they'll cancel the auction rather than giving the winner time to pay for the order.
What kind of logic is that?
Beware, guys.
I was happy overall with the service and support (though it was bad) but don't think I'll be using sav after this.

Mafia tactics.

 

[Abhishek Kumar Jha]

Mafia tactics.

After communicating with @Nick R , a few emails and calls, the card got charged and the domain is being transferred to the account.
BTW, they are updating this in the near future as this may scare off users.

i like and agree since it sounds like theyre listening

 

[Abhishek Kumar Jha]

Yeah. they're new, they're slow, but yeah they're listening. So let's be hopeful sav emerges to be a great platform.

No matter what they do, wont 'great platform' to me without Paypal. (literally first page)

I know Paypal high fees... Suck it up @Nick R, give timetables, please.

How long is "working on it"? "Godaddy" "working on it"? And Afternic-Sedo when can

 

[Nick R]

Hello All,

We hope everyone is staying healthy and appreciate the great conversation on how we can make Sav better! We are a small business and as you can imagine we have a ToDo list that seems to stretch on forever. I can assure you that we are developing new/revised features as fast as we can although if it's the feature you care most about - it may not seem like it at times. In no particular order, here are answers to everyone’s questions:

It seems like a lot of people are asking for features that we already have. If you ever need helping to find something like 2FA or Bulk Search, just reach out to support or DM me and we will be happy to help.

We are actively working on expanding our search results capability and have pushed improvements over the past few weeks with more coming soon.

Regarding the Bulk search link. You can get it at any time by clicking on the logo to go to the homepage. We will look into adding to a dropdown menu in the header in the future.

Regarding auction payment – We do immediately charge users payment methods when the auction ends. If there is an issue with a payment method and you were the only bidder, feel free to reach out to support and we should be able re-process your payment. We do have the ability to give people longer to pay on our aforementioned ToDo list.

I urge anyone with an issue to please reach out to Sav directly instead of contacting us on NP. We can resolve issues much quicker via support ( as we were able to do with @Abhishek Kumar Jha ) compared to this thread.

 

[Abhishek Kumar Jha]

Yeah.
I contacted support first and then on namepros.
I called and the sent the email too.

My card yesterday went dry, then i got an email from Sav that couple of wins are unpaid and i should provide a valid card within 3 days otherwise they drop the domains to the registry. Then i topped the card up but before i even emailed them they made another try and so the auctions were paid.

 

[alcy]

@Nick R
it seems your site has a rather serious bug whereby people are denied transdfering domains to you, that are expired. and it only seems to happen for some extensions.. such as io, co... it basically says "domain neeeds to be renewed first"

of course, I call it a bug because I can go to any other of the 15 registrars I Deal with, and for same domain on same day, begin transfer without issues.

can u please check it out. and kindly post here once its fixed so we know.. thanks!!!

 

[Nick R]

@alcy Thanks for pointing that out! We will get that adjusted in and pushed as part of our next code push. I would be resolved by the end of this week

 

[DKN]

Thanks for all the info!

.com new reg shows $6.99 in the site.

Still this offer price $5.95 works? @NickR

 

[Martin Andrews]

Hi.

Is the site down. Cant access it
