Who is better? Namesilo, NameCheap or

[NameOmnia]

Hi Guys,

considering all the problems people are having with stolen domains finding an alternative to Godaddy seems to be a must.

Leaving Moniker and 1&1 aside for reasons we ALL know, what registrar are you using?

Can you please share your experience and pro&cons of them?

Thank for your help.

Speaking of registrars - just realized I forgot to transfer a domain out of Godaddy and it renewed there - ouch! Just one reason I make it a policy to tranfer out of there asap.

If you go into account settings, "domain registration defaults", there's an entry that says "Always renew my domains" that can be set to either "Automatically" or "Manually". You can also selectively turn on or off automatic renewal for individual domains within the domain manager.

Thanks, but I know that - I left it on the default because I was planning to xfer out like I always do ... then forgot it was there.

Sorry. I guess I was confused by this comment "Just one reason I make it a policy to tranfer out of there asap.". It sounded like you were saying that you don't like GD because they autorenew domains which led to me to conclude that you didn't know that feature could be turned off..

I don't like them because they're expensive (unless you have a coupon - and that's WHY they're expensive, suck 'em in with coupons, make up for it on renewals and upsells) and their UX is straight from hell. Not to mention a history of throwing customers under the bus given half an excuse.

I have used Namesilo and Namecheap for a while now. Namesilo's 2 factor authentication is great and so is their free WHOIS protection, bulk edit etc seems to work. The price is great, from what I know they have the next best standard prices on .com. Had no need to use their support yet because everything worked so far.

Namecheap's prices are good compared to most and their support is friendly and most often fast and correct in their answers. However a lot of features don't work, wasted lots of time having to remove 100's of WHOIS protections by hand.

For .com I would pick Namesilo any day of the week.

i have tried couple of register, from godaddy, networksolutions,easyspace,namecheap,101domains,name, Marcaria ....
just what i observed during Registeration and Pre-Registration
Namecheap is very good at booking during GA, best prices sofor.
Godaddy price is most of the times are high except (dot)info and few new gTLDs where not available to register.
Marcaria price is some times better than NameCheap but not god for PreRegisteration of new gTLDs, support team books and confirm us later not an instant confirmation
No comments on NS and easyspace, i rarely use nowadays
Name.com is excellent for pre-registration and GA booking as well for new gTLDS. Prices are better than Godaddy huge differences on premium keywords. advantage of booking on Name.com is ,they are partnered with sedo.com , so it is easy to do a Feature Listing.
Godaddy's Customer support "Ad "is very good in Televisions, YouTube but in real .....

@Rebies - 30 second fix. Delete the first line (User-Agent: *) or give it a directive.

Completely agreed, this is the simplest fix you could imagine. But during the holidays certain people have taken vacations and we have policies about publishing code without peer approval. In this case this is not a critical bug that needs immediate fix, so it can wait to go through the vetting process. In this case we will wait until next week. As for vivaldi's questions about our site being slow from northern Europe I have a half dozen questions to him/her in PM, but have not heard back yet. Anyway, back to the conversation, I only jumped in because we were mentioned in the thread.

I have been using GD since 2003 and never had any problems with them. I hate their renewal prices so I might check NameSilo. I have almost 30 domains in there.

I'm using Resello (Realtime Register), but ResellerClub is the best and It has promo most of the time.

ResellerClub is a popular registrar was based in the India, Asia. They have promo on some extensions most of the time (It makes me tempted to use it). Also, with cute control panel for customer with great user interface. Their support via email is good, but via chat is average. However, ResellerClub is US based company now and they are still good. Hope this helps.

I'm using Resello. They'e doing well too. Both are good. Choose one and start your job!
