Can any recommend me a good registrar? Basically what i want is a good control panel and the ability to create private name servers.


Thank You

enom.com (but only through reseller account as you get major discounts i.e. $30 down to as low as $6.95 depending on how much you deposit with them)
or
namecheap.com (enom reseller that have flat rate $8.88 fee per years registration on all new names or transfers)

both allow you to create your own nameservers and a lot more stuff.

No, im not interested in reselling. I just want a registrar that i can transfer a few domains to. I looked at namecheap.com and they seem to be ok.

How about registerfly.com? Anything about them?

never try OnlineNIC.com ... they ate my 7 domains with the worst service over 2 years. recently HACKED and ATTACKED.

I use Registerfly, have almost 60 domains with them. Excellent domain manager and many cool services(sub-users, marketplace etc). I recommend highly

Check godaddy.com, highly recommended, support reply less than 6 hours

You cold get an eNom retail account. I'm sure you could find someone to set you up an $8.95 account.

metazero you dont need to resell their services many people have a $6.95 account purely for their own registrations.

but namecheap are also good. I have about the same amount of names with each of them and never had any problems.

Godaddy.com. Highly recommended.

000Domains.com is pretty good. I got about 50 domains with them.

ONLINENIC did well previously for their cheapist price($6.69)and great service.But their nameserve was attacked by Ddos.I had received two letters from them explain the whole affair.At least the support group are very responsible.I like them.Maybe you can registrate there later.

Wow, their servers have been down for days and you still like them. You're not hard to please. As for me, I'm pissed! :angry:

The issue can't be avioded for most of the registrars.I have been a long business with ONLINENIC.You can't deny the great service they ever provided.And these days I try to contact them by ICQ,They told me they are trying their best and everything will be OK afer a few days.What's your problem?Maybe you can try by ICQ.

I am currently with OnlineNIC...yes, great support...BUT,
the thing I don't like is how to get domains registered on my site in real-time...that template is a pain - having to manually transfer my funds to customer's account. I am looking for something more automated.

How do you handle a customer who wants to by multiple domains from your site?

I'am sorry,My domains there is a small amount.So I haven't suffered from these.Do you come through the problems(handle a customer who wants to by multiple domains from your site?)many times?If so,Maybe you can contact their support for special handling offer.otherwise,Maybe we have to handle it painfully.:(.recently,I heard that the T3 with be advanced to T4,maybe we can't ofer them some suggestions.

I recommend Stargate.com - an ICANN accredited Registrar. You can message "Stargate.com" on this forum.

PS I've no affiliation with them other than being their customer for almost 2 years.

enom is the best solution for you... :)

In no particular order...

NameCheap.com
Registerfly.com
Stargate.com
Godaddy.com

hey timechange,

not sure if you saw it over at dnf but there is a thread about security holes @ stargate.com where some high-standing members all advised to not keep any of your big names there. they won't tell you what the hole is (to stop copycats trying to exploit it) but aparently out of the registrars notified stargate is one that hasnt acted upon it.

Ciq,

I am aware of the thread and it is not accurate. Stargate acts upon and investigates every "security claim" we receive.

Moral of the story: "Don't belive everything you read", <i>especially</i> in public forums.

Used Stargate a couple years now. Nothing but good things to say about them.

This may be the case but one of the people involved in that thread is someone I know to be a totally dependable person who has no reason to post such things under a false agenda.

The important thing is that you are obviously keeping in touch with the community of people that deal in domains which is commendable.

and I didnt intend to make it sound like a flame I was merely passing on information I heard which may/may not have been of direct importance to the subject of this thread.

Ciq,

Unfortunately, Bob from DNF - that I believe you are referring to - simply regurgitated some blab about a password request flaw that seems to have affected reseller accounts (not regular or bulk accounts) some time in the past and that it has been dealt with. I could not reproduce the flaw despite a detailed 'walkthrough'.

Three years ago I brought to the attention of GoDaddy.com a huge security hole (database related) that exposed all personal info through some cookie editing. How about that?

I will continue to have Stargate.com at the top of my list, along with Enom.com and 000domains.com

ok, thats sounds like a feasible possibility.

please disregard my original post regarding Stargate.com.

godaddy.com is easy to use, especially for creating nameservers
