As for the domain registrar you may look at these ones: namecheap.com, enom.com, registerfly.com. They are rather reputible companies.

For the record, they arent reputable. especially registerfly. the discussion of registerfly losing peoples domains the lst 6 months are plenty. do your research.



I thought these would automerge. sorry for the mega postings.

I suggest eNom! I use NameCheap and eNOM. But am goign to move all my domains to eNom soon!

I can create sub-reseller accounts on enom if you want to get a better rate than you can from signing up on them yourself (without paying a bunch) let me know i'll set you up with an accnt for free.

eNom is the largest registrar so I'm sure it's serious Which is unfortunate but they are a HUGE company.

Are we talking in terms of most number of .com domain names?

In terms of that, Go Daddy's #1. Followed by Enom, then Network Solutions.

I'm not sure enom fixed this problem, but last year I could sell you a domain which is registered there. take payment, push domain, and scoop it back. their user interface has a domain password which allowed this kind of access.

Again, i dont know if they fixed this problem. Alot of discussion of this issue last summer and early winter.

NameCheap is actually through eNom, enom has a bunch more options/controls than enom in my opinion... especially for resellers and that sort of thing.

(enom is cheaper too for me)

I will recommend godaddy and namecheap, in that order. Why would you want to move away from godaddy?
Godaddy is actually good for domain names - except for all the promotion offers before you checkout. You can get the domain names pretty cheap too, if you use some promo codes.

I can actually give at least 4 reasons, though I wrote them extensively in my
own blog. Shorthand is they have 4 administrative charges for 4 scenarios.

if price places a roll.. they arent cheap and their gonna bring up the prices halfway through 2007.

why move out ? the have the most registrations in their service, enom is 2nd. The simple fact their the giants gives them too much power and control.

Just a registrar?

Right now yahoo is offering $1.99 for the first year and $9.99 each additional year. http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/domains/?p=BESTDEAL

I've also used http://www.namecheap.com and had great service. They are only $8.88/year.

If you are looking for a whole package I am using http://hostnine.com/ right now. Servers are excellent!

I am different then everyone else here on this issue. I have had domains with all of the above mentioned, but I have moved all my domains to one registrar and have over 100 domains with them. I use Dynadot as my domain host now for many reasons, but mostly due to the ease of use offered by their control panel and great customer service they have provided me with. I am able to call them toll free anytime with any issue if I have one and they are always friendly and helpful. Also their services are ever expanding so I find more that I can use them for as time goes. Obviously you have to go with who makes you comfortable, but I highly recommend you at least talk to them through their customer service number and consider them.

Good Luck!
