Which registrar would you trust your High Value Domain

[dotnom]

We all know about the cheap, the average, the popular but what about bullet proof security of various problems that may happen to your domain

When you have an expensive domain you are a target for many people that dreaming of the domain

Which registrar would you trust your expensive domain(s) and why ?
What is different with this registrar compared with the others ?
What's your definition of total security to help you create a peace of mind state for your domain ?

Apart from high jacking, if you get a false spam accusation or any other legal issue, will this registrar hold your domain active until he gets a legal order ?

I would NOT trust GoDaddy. I would trust Snapnames, Moniker, and Enom though

I would trust Snapnames, Moniker, and Enom though

SnapNames is not a registrar where you can register domain names.

 

[xman]

It's good to know there are better registrar besides Moniker.

Everything I read about Fabulous is nothing but good comments. Perhaps I should move some of my long-term domains there.

Be great if Fabulous would consider allowing private whois

Not sure why they don't as they would make extra money, which can only be a good thing right

 

[dotnom]

Fabulous doesn't have a private whois feature ?

Hi guys,

Whois Privacy is a feature we are actually considering offering soon. Nothing has been set in stone just yet, however, I'll keep you posted with more details as they come to hand.

Mike, just a question. I've been tracking some names of a registrant. They don't have a phone number in the phone option, but a fax number.

Isn't this a violation of not maintaning exact whois details?

That is correct, registrars must ensure that registrants have valid whois details. If you notice a domain has incorrect contact details be sure to notify the specific registrar.

I can assure you that being an ICANN Accredited registrar we make every effort to ensure the validity of whois details of domains that is with Fabulous. If the domains you mentioned are with us, please let me know and I will investigate further.

quite amazing you don't have that Mike

 

[dotnom]

Yes i agree with arnie

Mike send me a PM when you're done with this

Whois privacy is not good only to avoid spam but also for investors to hide their info. It's not good for them to know their competitors that they have the X names...

 

[athletec64]

I'm moving my domains to fabulous - someone on this board lost their domain from snapnames/moniker after a mistake, that's not real security...plus I like fab's security questions

 

[Jakey]

I would say Fabulous

 

[snoopinc]

I'll certainly try out Fabulous in the future.

I am curious about if you can pay with PayPal. I tried following these instructions from the FAQ at Fabulous:

How do I add funds using PayPal?

To add funds to your Fabulous.com account via PayPal follow the steps below:

1. Go to the "Deposit Funds" page in the "Finance" area of your account.
2. Click on the "PayPal Deposit" button at the bottom of the page and a pop-up window will launch.
3. Select a deposit amount from the drop-down menu and click "Continue".
4. You will be redirected to a secure PayPal login screen in order to complete the transaction.

I cannot locate the PayPal option on the Deposit Funds page.

 

[Charley]

I want to transfer out my domains to Fab, how do I proceed, Mike ?

 

[Mike Robertson]

I cannot locate the PayPal option on the Deposit Funds page.

Hi snoopinc,

PayPal is only a payment option for Wholesale/Monetization accounts. Can you please send me your username and I can look into this further for you.

Hi Charley,

To transfer domain names from another registrar into Fabulous please follow the steps below:

1. Ensure that the Registrar lock has been removed at the current registrar (i.e has a WHOIS status of ACTIVE) and was first registered more than 60 days ago.

2. Login to your Fabulous account and go to the "Transfer" page in the "Manage" area.

3. Enter the domain(s) you would like to transfer into the "Transfer Bulk Domains" box along with the Authorization code for each domain in the format outlined below, then click the "Continue" button.

domain1.com authorization​

domain2.com authorization​

4. The page will refresh confirming whether the domains you have entered are eligible for transfer, as well as itemizing all transfer costs. Please review the domain names and Authorization codes listed, and if you are happy to proceed with the transaction agree to the Terms and Conditions, and click the "Continue" button.

5. The page will refresh, allowing you to select the WHOIS contact profiles you would like to use for the domains. Click the "Continue" button.

6. The page will refresh, providing you with a summary of the transaction, and should your Fabulous account balance be insufficient, options to fund the transaction. Click the "Continue" button.
* At this point the transfer costs will be charged to your Fabulous account balance.

7. Fabulous.com will send a transfer approval email to the WHOIS Administrative contact email address for the domain. This email contains a link which will take the registrant to a web page where they can approve the transfer to Fabulous.com.
* If this email does not arrive, possible reasons include; the domain is registrar locked, the domain has not been with its current registrar for 60 days, the WHOIS contact email address is not correct, or the WHOIS contact's ISP/anti spam software is blocking the email from Fabulous.com.

8. Once this is approved, Fabulous will send a transfer order to the losing registrar.

9. There domain owner then has five (5) days to explicitly approve or decline the transfer within their account at the losing registrar. If no response is received, after no longer than 5 days the Central Registry should automatically transfer the domain to Fabulous.com.
* Please note: Depending on the time of day that the losing Registrar auto approves or the owner approves the transfer it can take up to 24 hours for the domain name show in your Fabulous.com account

10. Once your domain has been successfully transferred you will receive an email notification from Fabulous.com.

11. You can now manage your domain(s) through your Fabulous.com account.

NOTE: If a transfer request is not approved or fails for another reason, the transfer fee will be returned to your account balance.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Cheers,

Mike
