Your Preferred Domain Registrar?

Which is your preferred domain name registrar?

I prefer GoDaddy. I keep a nice GoDaddy account with all my domains and information in one spot. It is very easy to organize, manage, and do just about anything else with my account there. Their phone support is actually reliable (for me it has been) and I don't really have a problem with their prices. Plus, there is just about always a promo code you can use if you are feeling cheep.

 

Godaddy, for sure. I have a 2-3 at other registers, but Godaddy is the best.

 

Godaddy as well. I have one registered through my old host, Bluehost (which is a GREAT host if you are looked for shared servers... absolutely awesome) but when I switched to surpass and found their domains more expensive, I went to godaddy. Bought five domains through there, even if I only ended up using three of them

 

Same here. I was first going with network solution then registar. Now I'm with godaddy to. I like their UI for keeping track of the domains. Not to mention they love me so much I just transferred a domain and it was on the new server in under an hour. I thought that was pretty inpressive.

 

Godaddy only here too.

 

I have four domains, all managed by DreamHost...even though I host with Bluehost.

 

Go Daddy. As a new user, I found their setup very simple.

 

1&1, and Bluehost.

 

i also use godaddy for domain

 

I mainly use Namecheap. I prefer the control panel.

I'm all for Go Daddy

 

Small gravedig, but figured as the Hosting thread kept bringing up registrars, I'd post here...

I bought my first two domains with GoDaddy. I thought that if they were good enough to be Google's domain registrar, they had to be fairly good. The introductory offer was pretty good, but a year later it turned into a nightmare. The email spam was quite annoying, constantly trying to sell additional features. The business/private registration addons were costly as well.

Switched all my domains to 1&1. I was amazed that the price advertised was the price I paid. When renewal time came, there were no hidden or additional fees plus they offered free private registration. I wouldn't shared-host with them, but domain service has been top notch.

 

I hunt around for deals when I'm looking to register a domain, GoDaddy are usually the cheapest. However I register .co.nz domains with NzRegistrar.

 

I've always used GoDaddy as my primary domain registrar - nothing but positive feedback when it comes to this branch of their web services.

 

All of mine are with eNom... I have a $6.95 reseller account with them so after ICANN fees, each domain is only $7.20. I just deposit money in my account and they automatically renew. The only time I get contacted is when my account is debited for renewal or the account is low.

Not only that I can resell domains to others at prices that I set and they automatically get billed to their credit/debit card and the profit gets added to my account.

 

GoDaddy is my primary registrar and I also use NameCheap from time to time both of which I have no complaints about.

I still have a bunch of domains from 1&1, what a waste of life that company is. You they make it extremely hard for you to tell when your domains are expiring and you cannot turn off auto-renew without loosing the ability to change your name servers. Then the best is they just send you an invoice for auto-renewing domains that they pull from your CC two days later.. You never know how much it's going to be since you never know exactly how many are renewing until you're invoiced. For someone who operates on a shoestring most of the times, this is bad news.

 

I sympathize with you on the invoice issue. 1&1 will send an expiration notice roughly 60 days ahead of the expiration and then you won't hear anything until your get a receipt thanking you for your renewal. Its very easy to lose track of which domains are expiring if you don't make a separate list or put expiration dates on the calendar. But they are cheap domains, so its something I'm willing to accept. :2cents:

 

NameCheap. This choice was essentially confirmed when I had to send them a support ticket regarding an issue when renewing rctgo.net (the domain renewal had been paid for, but the expiration date hadn't changed). I sent a ticket, and 4 minutes later, I had a response and the issue was corrected. It wasn't a major issue and I'm sure it was an easy fix, but you still can't beat 4 minutes.

 

That's fantastic, Justin. They sound similar to my dedicated hosting provider, WiredTree, when it comes to support.

 

GoDaddy.com is my choice. With the coupon codes that I use, I get them for less than $7.50 for each domain. I probably have about 25 to 30 domain names with them.
