Transfering from Netfirms to..?


Hi,

I had a domain in my Netfirms profile for my email domain.

I thought it was safe but I guess I was wrong.

Somebody phoned up Netfirms pretending to be my legal lawyer / rep and Netfirms provided my password to that person over the phone, I am unsure if they asked any security questions but I am guessing not as they got the password.

My email account was hacked and it resulted into hacking on a wide scale of the places I was registered at (Password resetting).

I am now looking to transfer this domain away from Netfirms where security is more advanced, I have quite some domains with Namecheap but maybe it's time to find a new registrar?

Can anyone suggest a registrar they use?

Not GoDaddy, I hate them :\.
Not Namecheap, I love them but I want an alternative for once.

Thanks.

Name.com and Dynadot.com would be my suggestion for comparable prices and services. I like name.com for it's quick checkout and quick dns resolution. I like Dynadot.com if you have many domains.

If you have a lot of domains, some registrars offer additional security.

We've used enom.com for years and have been very happy with them.
