Enom, e-no or e-yes?
We all finally understood godaddy is bad very bad and their site is jammed with junk.
Now, let's discuss enom. I would like to hear all negative stories here. Positive - I am not interested in. If you are postive on Enom, then you work for enom or you are their reseller which removes independence of opinion here.0

Here, let's discuss tucows.
There are 3 major registrars: godaddy, enom and tucows. Others such as register.com and NSI we will just ignore.
So what bad about 3cows?
How are we supposed to respond to that?0

Negative - bugs in the system, support can be slow at times, downtime, same problems with nearly every registrar. Really you just need to find a registrar that suits your tastes.

By the way, I don't like eNom very much, esp. their support ... or the lack of it.Co-Founder @HostHideout. Profoundly influenced by #Bauhaus, @Nameslave unrepentantly embraces #Minimalism with a bias for functionality, color theory and pixel precision: a #multimedia messenger in the McLuhan sense. His totally irrelevant M.Ed. dissertation examines Organizational Culture and Change Management. He also likes Patrik Ervell, Wong Kar-wai and IKEA.0

Hey Ashley, eNom has their flaws like anyone else. GD's recent attacks were due to the IP banning of certain countries thereby locking out some of their existing customers.
My question for you - Are you asking this question because you truly want to know or are you trying to just dog eNom? Yes, I am pro-eNom but they have their warts just like us all.0

It is just interesting to see what enom is all about. If it is based on windows most likely it is very slow. Is it?
I prefer negative approach to things, articles and books. It helps to think clearly.0

Ashley: you could try doing your own research instead. There is a search feature for a reason. I also dont believe that you are finding out 'what enom is about' or anyone is about just by asking for the bad things. How does that tell you anything? You get a skewed view of everything and get an un-indepedant view. Your whole logic seems only out to bash enom. And tucows in your other thread. I suggest you take a new approach to finding information about companies.

If it is based on windows most likely it is very slow.
Different technology for different jobs, whether is fast/slow depends on the h/ware and connectivity behind it - you cuold have the fastest machine, with the most tuned unix based o/s on the planet, and if it's on a sh!te internet connection it''s going to be slower than a x86 running bloatware ...

I support the other 140 registrars. I strongly suggest to this forum to ban NSI, Verisign, Enom, Register.com, Godaddy and Tucows/OpenSRS. Let's fight the monopolies! Give others the road to ride!

I suggest you find another battle, your arguments are losing any validity very quickly. You name 6 companies and say 'MONO poly. One company. They all control different markets
NSI/Register.com have big clients because they were two of the first and most advertised.
Verisign no long owns NSI and has nothing to do with this.
Enom controls a huge discount reseller market
Godaddy has a huge retail discount market.
Tucows has many very serious resellers looking for a very powerful and reliable system which surpasses just about any out there (maybe Fabulous gives them a run for their money? but I am not familiar enough with each to make that judgement)
Now, banning them? WHY? Just because they have done well? Should we ban all the webhosts who have done well too? How about microsoft? Ban the use of their name because they control such a huge market? If you care to justify that statement I would really appriciate some clarification.Kevin Ohashi - Founder of ReviewSignal.com - Honest Web Hosting Reviews

Only thing I don't like is the service fee they charge to reload the account with funds.
