Best registrar to register about 10 domains

Discussion in 'Domain Names' started by NubKnacker, Jun 20, 2006.

    I have a client who wants me to register anywhere between 10-30 names for their new business. To be on the safe side they want to register any and all names that can be related to their site.

    What registrar would give me the best discount on such a deal? I thought of GoDaddy but their site is painfully slow right now which makes me rethink.

    Namecheap.com 8.88 and they have a ton more features as well as a lack of 1000000 cross selling screens to go through. A domain is about 2 clicks away.

    registerfly.com
    godaddy.com
    namecheap.com
    moniker.com
    enom.com

    All good options.

    "Best"???

    If security is the #1 concern, I'd say moniker.

    Beyond that, it's all a matter of opinion.

    If I were you I'd certainly go for GoDaddy. You can find some nice coupon codes too for mass orders of over $30.

    godaddy kinda sucks.

    with namecheap.com you get also free whoisguard on your domains.

    they rule man.

    I have about 60 DNs w/ GoDaddy. I'v neve had a problem and there site has always been fast for me, aside from all those up-sell promts at checkout.

    Always use the coupon codes.

    NetFirms is offering 4.95 I bought about 10 there and have had no problems. Infact I had a few questions and I called and they were fast, friendly and knowledgable.

    I use Moniker.com for my premium names, and GoDaddy as well as eNom ($6.95 reseller account) for the rest.

    I use godaddy and have gotten the checkout down to an art. They like trying to upsell you the whole way through but after your first purchase it becomes a snap and coupon codes are everywhere. After buying 3+ domains at once you can get free private registration.

    but that is just me

    Auch Jeremy, iPowerweb?
    Shouldn't have done that man, they suck big time and will only cause you frustration.
    Check out another thread on this ''company'' on namepros.com where there is a review
    thread on that company.

    Moniker may have had some issues before in your experience but i only hear great stuff from them from experienced domainers and since you are holding a large portfolio of domains as well it would be best to hold your portfolio with Moniker.

    In the end you get what you pay for...and regarding iPowerweb it means you get frustration.

    well I have been super frustrated with moniker and so has many others...

    all in all godaddy has been the best for me in doing bulk (300+ domains a week)

    I'm curious Shoemoney, was your frustration with Moniker due to domain management or customer service?

    300 domains a week? :eek: Is this for SEO purposes or something?

    I have used many registars, I think godady is the best!

    I know people knock them, But listen, I have hundreds of domains there and never a single problem,

    I even have all my dedicated servers there as well,
