Iam considering domainsite.com

Can you guys give me comments aobut domainsite ' s domain registration.?
They do not give the renewal and transfer in/out prices.

I thnk that we should open a new topic for each registrar where we can disuss on them.


Thanks a lot.

I think its a good idea... one topic for atleast major ones.

Domainsite.com response is quite quick. it takes about 3 hours to get the answer.

The renewal and transfer price are 7.99USD

Transfer price is $6.99.

It has been reliable to me the last time I have used them (which was a little while ago) but I just tryed yahoo's domain registring system and its amazing for the price.

I'm considering Domainsite.com too.

For those who have used Domainsite.com, are there any hidden costs we should know about?

thanx,

They are ok and cheap, be warned weekend support is limited and I think most of their support is out of India

I've used them for over a year. No problems. Never had a reason to contact support & so can't comment on that.

I've written them a second email asking if this underlined portion means you have to buy two years upfront or they give you two upfront.


What's everyone's opinion? Does it read that way or does it mean something else?

All American? The grammar of some of the support e-mails made me think english was not the primary language.

I guess you overlooked the pricing info box at the right column. ;)

Anyway, here you go:

Thank you, davezan. I'll check it now.

update:
Yup, I saw that.

I'm still wondering why this though, "each service purchased from us is for a two-year initial term hm?

So maybe they give you two years on a first time purchased service? After that, it goes to a one year.

Hahahaha!

he he he

maybe they just have very poor grammar in Denver

In plain simple english, any services you purchase thru them will be for at least 2
years unless you change the term manually during the order flow. So if it says 2
years, change it to 1 year before putting the credit card details in. ;)

Is this just domain name or services?

Been using them for many domains for awhile myself. You can set the term to 1yr on the gtld's things like .co.uk and the like are minimum 2yr terms (I believe that is what's being referred to there). Several domain tlds require different registration terms.

If you can manage to get through to someone via phone they're knowledgeable and attentive. The only email support I've gotten to date was worthless and had only basic canned replies which did not even relate to what I had asked them for assistance with (which indicates their support has to be outsourced as the person on the other end no doubt did not understand the plain english question).

From Domainsite.com, it would strictly be domain name with ID protection. I was wondering if the ID protection was for a two year price for the first time.

I believe that unless they said a certain service requires a 2-year registration (like
a .uk domain), you can always choose to subscribe for 1 year.

See if there's an option to change the payment term in your shopping cart. That'll
tell you if you can select 1 year.

I've been using Domainsite.com for some time and I have found, like others, that their email support quality varies between fantastic to non-exisitent. Their phone support has always been superior. Even when I had to leave a message - they would always call me back promptly.

But overall, I love the personal support that a smaller registrar can give you once they get to know you.

To clarify Domainsite's pricing on .coms... I have found (and their support reaffirmed it) that the $6.99 promotional pricing is for the first year only and then renewals are at $7.99.

You might also try their sister company, Name.com, which has $5.99 transfers and $7.99 renwals.

They're not perfect (who is?), and Name.com screwed up on a few incoming transfers of mine, but overall, they are nice folks to work with and I recommend them.

Uhu, they are great. Have hundreds of domains there and dont think about moving. They are nice, quick and particular. Support isnt the best one, but you can live. IMHO, what they offer isnt comparible with others. :) Go with them! Believe me, you'll have quiet nights :)
Good luck :)

I really like Domainsite. I have been using them for about a year now and have had no problems!

Have you transferred some domains out of domainsite.com?

Have you transferred some domains out of domainsite.com?

Yes, I did it recently. And it went without any problems.

Have you transferred some domains out of domainsite.com?Yes, and there was no problem transferring them out.

EDIT>> LOL! :D Thousands of miles away and tocache and I respond about the same time with almost the same response. Quick! Get my Ouiji board! Let's pick out some lottery numbers!

One good point at domainsite.com is that:

It is not possible to delete but transfer a domain. it is different from directi

Have you ever got security problem in Domainsite.com?

+ Have you ever got security problem with Domainsite.com?

+ How do we do not to allow our administrative emails displayed in whois record? That s vulnerable!!

+ what is "registrar-lock" in Domainsite.com? Can we do by ourselves? If yes, that lock is senseless!!

I have been very happy with their cheap pricing and quality service so far. Easy to use panel and they accept Paypal. Domainsite is one of my favourite registrars alongside namecheap.

Can you help me?

I had 2 domains at domainsite for about 3 years.. no problem. i decide this year to transfer to another registrar. so about 5 days before my expiration, i signed up the domain at yahoo.com, in which i wasn't reading correctly, as they do not yet do transfers, but re-delegation. Either way, i emailed them asking to about doing this, and #1, they do not reply for 3 days, and when they do, they asked me to ask yahoo to send them a transfer request. I stated in my first email my problems. the next 2 days were back and forth with very late replies as to what i need to do for a transfer. the domain expired. that morning, they email me saying my domain is expired, and if wanted to transfer, i would first have to renew for another 2 years, then they'll put the transfer through, or i can wait for the time alloted for the domain to delete. well it's been 3 months now, and still (pending). I dont know what else to do but wait.. wether its against the rules ( which i checked and think it is ) . It has just been very fustrating.

Renewal for 2 years is CHEAP for taking a domain out limbo. Yes, I know it's extortion, but most other registrars charge $150 and up per domain for this. If you value your domains, DO IT NOW. You don't ever want to let them delete from the registry, where you totally lose control of the domains. DO IT NOW, and then transfer if you want, but I think they're being more than fair with you and if you've been satisfied with there service, then why not stay? They have a good reputation.

For .com / .net transfers that go smoothly the normal transfer time is five days.

So... let me get this straight. You wait to the last minute to transfer your domain names to a reseller (Yahoo is NOT a registrar, they resell for Melbourne IT). You make the mistake of not reading Yahoo's warning on their own website that was prominently displayed IN RED:*This is NOT a registrar transfer. Your domain name registration remains with your current registrar and you are responsible for all ongoing domain name registration/renewal fees.:Then, DomainSite is offering to let you renew the domains for the outrageous amount of $7.99 each versus probably losing them when they drop (have you ever heard about Pool, SnapNames, BuyDomains, KenyaTech ?).

But, even though YOU and maybe Yahoo drop the ball... for some reason, it's all DomainSite's fault?! :eek:

DomainSite is not perfect, but they are pretty reasonable people. The bottom line is that YOU let those domains expire because you refused to spend a few dollars more (you do realize that the wholesale cost to registrars for a .com domain is $6.25 from the registry). So ask yourself, why is Yahoo selling them for $2.99... because they plan on getting their money from you in some other way.

I don't think you are being fair to DomainSite or even yourself.

I'd have to agree...

Stu2 is correct. IF you domains fail into pendingdelete restorable, you must pay 60USD/domain in Directi and more in other registrars. Therefore, 2 year renewal fee is very cheap if that is true.

I think you shouldnt transfer from DomainSite to Yahoo! Yahoo has not good service and insecurity.

... they asked me to ask yahoo to send them a transfer request.
... which is absolutely the right thing to do.

A Basic Registration, according to their site, costs 6.99, and so is renewal. Most of the time, basic registration is more than enough for a normal site.

By far one of the most efficient registrars i have ever used. Registers in a minute, and changes DNS nearly instantaneously.

uh...lodo is almost exclusive
