34 people been living under a rock huh?

 

[Chris Hydrick]

Thanks, you're right about that.

Regarding GoDaddy, these non-allowed votes are easy to spot:

- Paul Nicks (President of Domains at GoDaddy)
- DAN.COM (subsidiary of GoDaddy)
- Michael Cyger (Director of Education, Domains at GoDaddy)

Regarding Namesilo, these non-allowed votes are easy to spot:

- Namesilo
- NameLot.com
- Catch.Club

...
3 votes aren't much; but currently it's the difference between Porkbun (49 votes) > Namesilo (50 votes)
...

34 people been living under a rock huh?

Worse than you think... They're perfectly aware.

 

[Future Sensors]

It looks like Porkbun is still growing rapidly. I do like them as well, but is anyone using them for large portfolios?

Yes, like them too. I have currently some 10k domains with Porkbun. I've suggested some improvements to make (bulk) management easier. Some of these features have now been implemented. I'll keep submitting new ideas.

Hi @equity78

Will you filter out employees and entities that voted for their own company (or sister company) afterwards?

Thanks.

 

[Future Sensors]

I guess we can do that, I don't think it will matter for #1. But again it's also hard to know who has an account here with no registrar company notation but works there.

Thanks, you're right about that.

Regarding GoDaddy, these non-allowed votes are easy to spot:

- Paul Nicks (President of Domains at GoDaddy)
- DAN.COM (subsidiary of GoDaddy)
- Michael Cyger (Director of Education, Domains at GoDaddy)

epic 2022
2023+ !

most of my domains 1 place epik (few GodAddy) its not enough if i dont love..

Why E? They're expensive as hell, not domainer friendly, openly state they dislike domainers... Just wondering.

 

[DomainNature]

For me.
1.Sav
2.Onamae GMO-z.com
3.Porkbun

Most people vote for Dynadot, it's obvious NamePros favorite, but in my exp Dynadot has problems.
1. slow order processing.
2. high prices.
3. frequent website issues.

 

[Reallybigidea.com]

I vote for Epik.com

Dynadot Namecheap Porkbun Sav Godaddy are awesome too.

Vote canceled. Admin delete my vote. Epik money charged but won't register domains.

 

[Reallybigidea.com]

You may use "change vote" or "remove vote" buttons yourself...

Changed to Dynadot

 

[wwwulff]

Well,it's basically a wildcard vote as in a year from now your domain has probably ended up at another registrar aor some strange reason t ICANNs discretion.

Other maybe but not me, I left Epik long ago

 

[Reallybigidea.com]

Where is the poll for the epic worst registrar in industry that take your money and do not reg Verisign domains.

 

[wwwulff]

34 people been living under a rock huh?

35 now

 

[GoKaizen]

I will still use Epik.

I've made a lot of money by putting dropping domains on NameLiquidate.

That's found money I wouldn't have gotten otherwise. I've used those funds for renewals.

If domains are at Epik you can choose to have expiring domains go to NL.

 

[D Haynes]

I hope @Dynadot don't underestimate the achievement of winning the NPs registrar of the year vote. I know its only a tiny segment of the industry but 699 voters is vastly more than most satisfaction/product testing surveys achieve.

Big congratulations to @Dynadot, Namecheap and @Sav.com. Let's hope they continue the great work!

 

[Centauri]

why is there no Cosmotown?!

cheapest .com registratios (I think also net & org); had good experience with them.

 

[JohnAmibo]

Quite new to the scene but have never had an issue with Namecheap

 

[Digital Nomad]

My all time favorite used to be GoDaddy and still partly is, but transfered over most domains to NameCheap. PS I also like Dynadot.

Flashback 2020

[jhm]

Ironically, the two winning the poll being Dynadot and NameCheap. I know NameCheap well, love the staff. I'm happy enough

 

[Surya Giri Kurniawan]

In this pandemic era, Dynadot, Namecheap and SAV must be the winner, because their good price and no problem in Quality. For end users, Godaddy is still their option since most end user need quality and whole services in one registrar, money is no problem for them.

I used Godaddy since 2010, when they gave away free website builders for every domain registration. My first domain I bought is not for selling, but for my office. I still use Godaddy for making email, website builder and marketplace.

But now most my domains are at Dynadot and SAV, since for landing page only need nameservers. SAV is cheap but not support A Records and C Name. Dynadot support them, so it is the best in price and quality. But Dynadot do not offers email and good website builder.

 

[Sam1234]

I love Porkbun
