Top domain friendly registrars... managing millions of domains and billions of $$$

[mike031]

Moniker.com and Fabulous.com manage billions of dollars worth of internet domain names for thousands of clients

I have been using both Moniker and Fabulous almost exclusively to manage all of my own personal domains for about five years now, going strong, and I've also recommended them to countless friends and clients. I never heard anybody complain or have an unresolved issue with them. If you haven't tried them yet... You should!

Moniker.com, a subsidiary of Oversee.net, is one of the top 10 domain registrars in the world by volume. The company manages a little over 2,500,000 million domain names for thousands of individuals and clients as of December, 2008. Approximately 80% of those domain names are all .com, followed by 10% for .net and 4% for .org --- The rest of the tld/cctld domains make up less than 5% total. Fabulous.com manages less domains than Moniker, about 2x less at 1,300,000 domain names total as of December, 2008. A large portion of fabulous.com registered domains are their own actually! Fabulous parent company Dark Blue Sea Limited, owns a couple of other companies in the direct navigation industry, and one of them is Domain Active Pty Ltd --- A domain holding company that owns over 550,000 generic keyword domains. Approximately 85% of all domains registered with Fabulous are .com domain names. The .net domains make up about 9% and .org names come in at 5% total. All other tld/cctld domain names make up less than 1%. It is pretty clear that the top choice for professional domain investors is .com domains --- Almost 9 times out of 10 an expert domainer will choose to register a domain with the .com extension.

What are your thoughts?

Should eNom or GoDaddy.. Tucows...etc... be considered as well to be "domainer friendly" registrars? ??!

If so, why?? Why not!?
