Where do you register your domains?
 

With EV1 registrations being closed, directnic being too expensive, and godaddy registration process being too slow - where do you register your domains?

just curious :-)

Directnic...never had a problem for the past 4 or 5 years.
15/year is a small price to pay to have your domains safe.

|noclue| I've heard people say a lot of bad things about GoDaddy, but never that their registration process was too slow.

They feed my domain addiction just dandy, never leave me jonesing. |bananna|

If you are buying more than 100 registrations or renewals per year, you should be looking at a wholesale registrar rather than a retail one. I use www.onlinenic.com

What Jim said ;)

I've used Enom for some years now. Only $8.95.

name cheap

Are you serious? Takes me under a minute to register a new domain with Godaddy. Godaddy has some really good secrity now. For those of you who havent checked them out in a while, you may want to check again. They have made so many upgrades to their system. And their phone support is great too if you prefer to work over the phone rather than email.

Never had problems with name cheap

I think the Godaddy issues revolve around their transfer policies, and their attitude towards seizing domains.

Enom is in the news at the moment as a result of their blocking renewals during the early grace period of high value domains that have just expired.

I remember when registering domains was easy. Ignorance was bliss. Now I can't decide who to use.

If you say godaddy is fast then you never used directnic :-) Yep directnic is so far the best, I agree with Jim, it's just when you have 500 or so domains you are throwing some $2500 per year which I didn't like. (15$ vs less than 10 on godaddy, ev1)

I've been using Directnic for years without any problems. $15 a year is fine for me since they keep my domains safe. I guess though if I was registering bulk domains, then I might have to look for a cheaper place.

We use Dotster, never had a single problem.

godaddy gets my business

use registerfly.com

I went with Directnic cause back when domains finnally hit the $7.00 mark I bought a couple and everything just sits there now. Buying with them is never an issue. DNS updated with in a couple of hours and honestly never had to call support for anything. I dont even know their phone number. I think its going on like 5 or more years with them now.

prefer directnic, works good for me: they're very reliable

I much prefer Directnic and have used them for years - and if you are doing bulk then you might want to discuss a bulk price with them :) I wouldnt use a registrar unless I could negotiate a price to my liking

Dotster inspires my confidence

I only use Est for domains and HQ for hosting. :D They allow me to be more 'creative'. When I'm done completely destroying a domain, I transfer it to GoDaddy, knowing that someone will unburden me of it in the night without being stopped.



Ok, just kidding. I use an Enom reseller. $12.95 per year, $8.45 to transfer to them.
