Domain registrar for small web business and domain transfer without downtime
I run a small web business, web studio, offering web design, programming, domain registration and hosting for my clients.
I currently have about 50 domains registered at Internet.bs, Namecheap and ResellerClub. Most of them are at ResellerClub. I wanna transfer all of them to one registrar for ease of management.
Internet.bs - don't like them anymore because they don't accept PayPal no more.
Namecheap - unable to make .eu transfers.
ResellerClub - a little bit complicated interface for non resellers.
I need reliable/good reputation/good support registrar with option to register/renew/transfer all major top level and country code domains (including .eu) and to accept credit card and PayPal payment.
I'm considering about Dynadot and Name.com. Any other suggestions?
What is the best way to transfer domain between registrars without/or minimum downtime? For all domains I'm using custom nameservers (ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com).

When transferring the domains there should absolutely be no downtime.
We love using NEO (netearthone.com). Great prices and support. Easy to use interface and they accept paypal.

Unfortunately, can't comment on other ones. We used NameCheap which was also good, but as you said you can't transfer .eu domains.
Have you contacted them regarding this?

Yes, they plan to add that possibility in the future but don't know when. I asked them the same question a year ago and get the same answer.

If you would be by any chance interested in a European provider, you could take a look at DomainBox. They are quite new I suppose, but their pricing is good and they have a plug-and-play storefront.

There will be downtime no matter where you go eventually. The difference is using a cheap provider who has a lot of downtime vs a quality provider who has very little downtime.

if your custom nameservers are rebranded nameservers from your current provider, then you are likely to experience downtime. But if you have "real" nameservers either hosting your own or third-party provider then you should be able to transfer domains without any downtime at all.

Internetbs.net is your best option for ccTLD. I heard they were working on getting PayPal back up.

It is a little strange for you to not want a Reseller account when you have about 50 domains ... it would work out alot cheaper for you to hold a Reseller account ..
Also; I guess you can always just create a customer account under your Reseller account and operate only from that ...
I'm sure there is an easier alternative than moving your domains from 3 providers.
