Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Running a Web Hosting Business : Stargate vs Godaddy

[Billy]

Okay,I am down to deciding between 2 registrars,they both have about the same price,and both i have heard nothing but good about them.So what is your opinion?
Stargate is a LITTLE cheaper....but godaddy is an approved(not reseller) registrar.

Stargate is also an approved registrar.
The following link has a list of registrar. You might want to check it out. http://www.icann.org/registrars/accredited-list.html

I personally like stargate a little better, but it really upto you.

i voted for stargate

I had tons of problem registering two of my domain names at godaddy (for over 1 month I have tried). I finally used stargate.

Question is now that I have the domain name and I am using the URL forwarding feature to send users to a static IP address.

It didn't work. Am I doing something wrong here? Or should I fiddle around with the DNS management, create my own nameservers or something like that?

I don't have this problem with nameboy, I use click in the IP address and all my traffic gets redirected correctly.

Thanks

make sure your DNS is point to stargateinc's nameservers... and after you change the DNS, you have to wait at least 24 hours before you will see the actual domain forwarding...

if you already have the DNS pointint to stargate's nameservers and its not working, until until an afternoon and check to see if they have their humanclick support person online... then just ask them

g'luck

If you have a static IP to forward to, shouldn't you be using Stargate's DNS Panel tab to set an A record (or something like that) instead of the URL Forwarding?

Just a thought...

[Ideasmiths]

Thanks,

I was confused. I thought the URL forwarding would work. Seem like I have to use the DNS Panel to set a Address and MX record to point to my host's static IP address.

That is correct right?

I am a bit confused here, I have a host with a static IP with an existing site there. I need to test out my two new domain names and is constructing the pages for them. So at index.php I check the referrer http and redirect to the appropriate subdomains

But how about pop3 mails? Do I set a MX record that points to my static IP and all mails can be retrieved there?

PS: I have humanclicked stargate, but my browser keep hanging
when I click the submit button.

Well all i have is good experiences with stargateinc
I have around 15 domains with them and even when i had problems with my Creditcard which had been charged 2 times for same domains i was refunded as soon as i told them. Good Customer support.
but dont try to email their sales staff cause they never reply...
*Hint* if you wanna contact them click on FAq's and there you will find humanclick where an support staff will answer and help you with all your queries.

Stargateinc Voted No.1 ( atleast by me)

[cbaker17]

I wasnt even going to bother to vote but since everyones voting for stargate, i will, we have hundreds of domains with godaddy with not a single problem yet.

[Helper Ant]

Is the best ever!

I have 5 domains wth them..

[johnnycs]

24h ago I sing up with Stargate for hosting/free domain.
So far I have no conformations #, no hosting info, and the domain that I register is still available to register. Does not look gOOd.
I think I will stay with 000domains.com

[Billy]

Doesnt it say it takes 24-48 hours?

[pootp]

just registered 2 domains with stargate today.. they were registered instantly, and a confirmation email sent right away.. good stuffs...

but this is without registering for their hosting plans..
