So where is best place please? Thanks! dsotmoon 11-20-2002, 06:57 PM You will get many answers to this question, everyone has a favorite, before I started myself I preferred GODADDY, do a search on google and compare some of them and look for any "extra" charges they me have FeBox 11-20-2002, 07:09 PM Namecheap.com is the best one I have ever dealt with. They have fast and friendly support reps, and the panel is easy to use and well layed out. I have over 9 names with them currently, and never doubt them for a split second. interactive 11-20-2002, 07:39 PM Directnic though they charge $15 I love their service. Rotifer 11-20-2002, 08:13 PM I've never had any problems with Registerfly (http://www.registerfly.com/). beachtrader 11-20-2002, 08:43 PM www.dotster.com has been good to me throughout the years. progex 11-20-2002, 09:05 PM GoDaddy.com and NameCheap.com are probably the first prime candidates you should choose. Not only are they at the industry's lowest price, but they offer good support as well. 000domains.com is also a prime choice. :) greggish 11-20-2002, 10:46 PM NameCheap.com is the best. Dotster is the worst. I just bought a domain from somebody that had it with Dotster and I can tell you firsthand that their management interface is terrible. Acroplex 11-21-2002, 12:00 AM Yeah Dotster's back-end is not exactly the most friendly one around :D PixelOptik 11-21-2002, 11:42 AM I like directnic.com but thinking of giving godaddy.com a try :) kiki 11-21-2002, 01:52 PM I vote for Godaddy.com N9ne 11-21-2002, 02:37 PM I used to use godaddy.com but I needed free redirecting for domains... I still have two domains with godaddy.com but I now use directnic.com because they have a lot more features, and the interface is user friendly IMO... I've got 4 domains with directnic and 2 with godaddy :) bok 11-21-2002, 03:42 PM I used to use godaddy.com but I needed free redirecting for domains... Go Daddy does offer free domain forwarding. greggish 11-21-2002, 05:04 PM NameCheap, and most enom resellers, for that matter, is better than godaddy. I'm surprised more people haven't realized that by now. Jtru 11-22-2002, 04:21 PM I've used NameCheap and GoDaddy. My preference is NameCheap. emergency 11-27-2002, 07:09 PM www.godaddy.com 9 domains have used them since the days that network solutions finally lost the monopoly. www.namescout.com 1 domain had a huge problem with them. not their fault but could not transfer to them. they refunded my money. 3 months later i get an email saying the tranfer was sucessful, no charge...i get an extra 3 months on my domain. www.namecheap.com 8 domains www.stargate.com 1 domain cheap registration at the moment. www.dotregistrar.com 1 domain i have and always will be a big fan of godaddy over the others. it is really preferences, some have cheaper add-on services and other features. what i need is domain lock which is free with godaddy. updating of dns goddaddy does this as well as any. never used help desk/support of any of the services with the exception of namescout due to the tranfer problem. cyberdao 11-27-2002, 07:16 PM I have many domains at Namecheap (http://www.namecheap.com) Registerfly (http://www.registerfly.com) Godaddy (http://www.godaddy.com) My choice is Namecheap, because their support is very fast, reliable and polite. Also, their domain manager is very easy to use and offers all you need. JSpired 11-27-2002, 07:22 PM The best place to buy a domain is that place which offers the features that you need. That said, I'm a fan of NameCheap. Synthetic 11-27-2002, 09:33 PM http://www.000domains.com & http://www.directnic.com I have been pleased with both, and would highly recommend the two. |
