registrars Who is the best registrar in the business?

[equity78]

It's been over 18 months since the last big poll here, a few things have changed, and there is new policy out of GoDaddy today. So let's take a new poll on best registrar.

GoDaddy ran away with the last poll.

I really believe EPIK should be mentioned in the poll

 

[HotKey]

Voted.

Porkbun should be on there..they're fantastic.

Domainmonster is no more, unless you're an existing customer. They are 123 Reg now.

Fair point Hyper, I actually included the same names from the old poll, I should have switched out Domain Monster for Epik. @Eric Lyon can you edit that I don't think polls can be edited.

They are decent, but have a flaw...

After the 15 day grace period the customer’s domain is deleted from their account. After day 16, the domain will in most cases be recoverable for up to a total of 69 days after the expiration date. In the case, where the domain can still be recovered a restoration fee not to exceed $90 is assessed.

I agree Rob Monster is very approachable for issues, and they have some good options within their panel for payment plans, bitcoin, and escrow. One stop shopping, I feel they should move that 15 day grace up a bit, I used to get spammed for years from Jessica from Epik trying to buy my names for $100, so I guess that segment of the business of getting to client domains can be very profitable.

Godaddy are still good for customer support. Pretty much instant 'real person' on phone answering. which is a real plus and rarity these days Just remember you'll be dealing with a 'script-programmed' answering persona until you can get them to pass you on to a supervisor

Name Silo is winning at the moment, and rightly so. They have everything - free privacy, a well designed market place with a reasonable charge for an "escrow" push, they accept and pay in Bitcoin, cheap prices, free privacy etc. If they included a morning coffee, they would be perfect.

It's a shame that good registrars, like good domains, seem to come and go. I would happily transfer away from the old bags that I'm still with ie, 123-reg.co.uk and godaddy but been with some real good promises (for my single registrations) only to find it doesn't last. Give me a multi-million dollar registrar that really has something to lose in NOT keeping it's customers happy, rather than todays best deal - then I'm intrested

And maybe increased support coverage time. But that said, I voted for them as they ARE very good

I got answers from their support even on Sunday and almost instantly.

Aside from already stated about them, for me the most important is their constant willingness to be better. They do that simply by listening to their customer's needs.

My bad. I meant chat support. But yes, their support is very good irrespective

I voted for NameSilo too.

I really like the phone support I receive at GoDaddy, Though, I have a premier service rep, and he always makes me feel welcomed.

Though within the last year, I have became quite fond on how @namesilo has handled issues brought up by namepros members. Their marketplace is improving, and I haven't incurred much [if any] real issues there.

Here's one of my favorite @namesilo moments of the year HERE: Long story short, @Crysis did a good deed by returning a CVCV.com to its rightful owner after finding out he purchased a stolen domain from Namesilo. Namesilo then stepped up after reviewing the case, and issued @Crysis a refund.

Uniregistry is easy and Best at all .

Since they are little known can you describe in a few words what makes them different from other registrars ?
