We use bulkregister.com (12$). I can't say anything against them. Never had problems.

It is ok. You can change DNS directly.
If you want domain forward , etc. directnic.com $15 is a good choice. Check it out.

But I just want a domain. So, I registered at domainnext.com
sometime I use DNS server at mydomain.com They offer
free DNS service. you can point DNS to them.
but sometime mydomain.com is freeze.

I will continue to find the cheapest one for general usage.

domainnext seems like a good one, how long has they been on the market?

I want to use a company that have been on the market for a long time and won't dissapear. :)

one more thing, opensrs network ( opensrs.net ) can change
the owner name on the fly without any charge. If you register from
their reseller and then your reseller close their website, you can
goto update at opensrs.net directly. very excellent.
stay away from networksolutions.

note: directnic.com and domainnext.com are not reseller of opensrs network. it can't change/update owner name.

Hi,

I like 000domains.com and register all my clients' domains with them. It's $13.50 per domain but I don't mind the extra few dollars and feel more secure using them for almost 2 years.

Oh! sorry http://www.domainsnext.com/


But domainnext.com was registered at http://www.registerfly.com/ --> looking good but it isn't opensrs
( tucows ).


000domains is powered by opensrs... good.
If you found cheaper price, go signup because you can manage
domain from opensrs.com directly.

if you want features, www.registerfly.com is looking cool.



:angry: :eek: :rolleyes: :mad: :stickout ;) :D :)

I really like Domain Bank; they've got good tech support. However, I've been slowly transferring my domains to Dotster to cut the registraton price in half. So far they've been pretty good, however, they won't update a DNS server entry they've got.
