Fed up with GoDaddy...who do you recommend?

Discussion in 'Domain Names' started by edzachary, May 3, 2009.

    I've used GoDaddy for more than ten years and I have a portfolio of a couple of hundred names. But for the past several months I've had issues logging in to their site or unable to manage my domains on weekends.

    Domain registration, maintenance and management should not be this complicated.

    I have accounts at various registrars but have always ended up transferring things to GD for the sake of simplicity in managing things.

    I need advice about which of the rest folks here consider to be the best. Is it name.com? Dynadot? Moniker?

    GoDaddy doesn't deserve my business after this and I have to move on. I appreciate the feedback of those who work in domains at the level I'm at. I need to be able to access and manage hundreds of domains at a time. Thanks in advance.

    I would suggest Domainsite.com. Their control panel is much faster & less cumbersome, tough a little more expensive.

    Agreed with you that GD interface is too slow in loading.
    I will only join back them when there is a change in their user interface.
    Last time i transfer all my domain to name.com coz their price can match with GD.

    Name.com is by far the best and easiest.
    Moniker.com is also very good.

    DO NOT USE:
    NameCheap.com
    Enom.com

    why? Renewals are ridiculously expensive and unless you renew more than 50 domains at once, or you beg them for one. It's so unnecessary!

    WTF are you smoking domainloco.net namecheap is very cheap. They also give you a free SSL cert and free private whois with each registration and transfer. I use them. I was fed up with godaddy's horrible ajax domain manager. If it worked, it was extremely slow, then they spam you with like 3 emails for each thing that you change. I've transfered all of my domains to namecheap and am loving it!!!!

    You need to understand why you was fed up with your previous domain name registrar (That could be the same with new one). Try to have conversation with representative to specify some issues you doubt about

    I think Godaddy is the best service provider for Domains & hosting,
    Though their support still need some improvment but their prices are very cheap

    Name.com is best, you get domain as well as free private whois for 8 bucks. Moniker is your second choice.
