Heya,

I'm currently looking for a good domain registrar who allows me to change the contacts info (Billing, technical, registrant etc.).

DirectNic offers this, but they charge $5 extra if you want to change the cname, mx etc. records.

Are there any other registrars who allow me to change the contacts info? (reasonable price ofcourse)

thnxx!!

you should better look for a DNS provider rather than paying these crazy fees for MX record updates etc.

Please consider everydns.net for an example and have full control over your domain name DNS records ;)

Most registrars allow this for free. Try stargate.com

I heard bad things about stargate.. but do they allow you to change the contact info?

Yes, we do allow the change of contact information including Registrant.

Stargate.com

Dotster (http://www.dotster.com/) (my registrar of choice) allows you to update your contact info for free.

Stargate offers full editing of all contact info, paperless transfer to a new account and free URL forwarding.

What "bad things" have you heard about Stargate? Just because they rhyme with Watergate? :D

I searched the forum and read many negative posts about them (some postive also ofcourse but mainly negative). What makes them differ from directnic?

Doster seems like a good company...

BulkRegister has free and easy contact changes.

I disagree, most negative comments were left by individuals that never used Stargate extensively. I have several hundred domains with Stargate in the past 2 yearas and the negative remarks left here make me laugh.

Can I creat my own nameservers (ns1/ns2) for free with stargate?? I can't find anything about this on their website.

Yes you can.

You have several hundred domains with stargate but timechange.com is registered with godaddy? why?

Ooooh, someone is looking for a "body" here :D j/k

Simply because it has not been close to expiration yet. I am moving my domains to Stargate as soon as they are within 1 month of expiration with GoDaddy.

Tom can verify this.

Also, timechange.us is registered with 000domains.com and the .info & .biz with GoDaddy. The .ORG is with Stargate and the .NET ...well, that's in the hands of a stupid speculator :D

The registrar we were trying to contact could not be reached for your query. The request timed out.

I often get this message when I try to look-up a domain registered with stargate...

Where do you do your lookups? NSI? Stargate blocks many third-party requests based on traffic to prevent scripting and abuse. Try uwhois.com.

Tom, I must say though that even uwhois.com is not seeing things right. Look up LISH.NET - still shows my info after 6 days! Look it up at Stargate's WHOIS for the new owner info.

How often are you guys updating the WHOIS from your database?
