    I think this should go to the Domain Names Forum.

    Have you tried Namecheap?

    If you have "unwanted guests" in your computer like malware and keyloggers, no registrar can prevent others from being able to get your account information that way.

    Now in terms of people contacting your registrar to try getting into your account, various registrars like Go Daddy, eNom, even Network Solutions, NameCheap and Moniker are able to handle that. But since you said you had issues with Go Daddy, I guess you can scratch them off your personal list.

    Moniker has the best reputation amongst domainers for being the securest registrar. They claim never to have had a domain stolen. As kohashi said, Fabulous are also secure with their executive lock turned on.

    Moniker was just bought out by Oversee.... which may bring a lot of mixed feelings to some.

    ditto.
    I think with most of these, your account should be pretty secure, UnLess someone gets your access info, so double check your own PC security.

    An other advantage from Fabulous is that they are not US based. Some may see this as a disadvantage, I see it as an advantage as you are a little bit better protected from the US law...

    I bought a domain from their auction house, Club Drop. They pushed the domain to my eNom account without removing the domain password. The previous owner logged into the domain via access.enom.com and changed all the contact details and email to himself. Then they called eNom, to get the auth code and asked them to unlock the domain. eNom knew what was done, but refused to file a reclaim at the new registrar. They claimed that NOT erasing the password was a feature not a bug. Sometime later however, the changed their mind and "fixed" their feature. At no time in my discourse with eNom did they ever tell me the truth. All their communications were lies and obfuscations. Until they told me they would refund my purchase price, which was 100% against Club Drop's ToS (no refunds under any circumstances). They did this because it was easier and cheaper to refund me than to admit any fault and file for a reclaim at the new registrar. That's eNom for you.

    This was painful for me to bring up.

    In addition to stu2's experience I would like to mention that some registrars don't change the auth-code after a transfer. That can be a security problem as your old registrar still has the auth-code or if you got the domain from someone else they still have it.
    I know that it was like that with Dotster around a year ago but don't know if it's still like that.

    No, then not... but still better to check the auth-code after a transfer and change it if it's still the same one. Don't risk anything.

    For those of you who use moniker, if you transfer a domain to them, does it effect your website's uptime, such as, do you have to update your nameservers on moniker or are they already updated? I've never transfered a domain, so not sure how that works, and it may be the same way for any domain registar, so any feedback is welcome.

    Thanks
