Never heard of them before, has anyone used Name.com for domain registrations?

I`m looking to register a bunch of domains, their name came to my attention.

That said, the cheap costs are a concern. Wonder if they are likely to vanish overnight!

Seems a WHT search reveals nothing.

You need to start using google like this:

They're owned but Spot Domain LLC who also own DomainSite. The $5.99 pricing is a promo price. Renewals are $7.99. The worry is if they can sustain that price level for registrations/transfers and then keep their new customers come renewal time. They need to only retain about half their new domains to break even after two years. If they can do that. They'll stay afloat, imho.

I'd recommend you rather go for their reviews. It seems that nowadays people more often looking for the good customer service instead of cheap pricing.

For me. Any support has been acceptable in time and accurate in detail (no wishy-washy canned replies).

Finding a good support is really a pain.

We had our troubles with ServerPronto
