    Very true. Moniker.com would be the one to go with.

    Yeah Directis resellerclub is ok. Their interface is not very good at all.
    Their .mobi deals are very good. Think it is around $8.99.
    They opened an office in the US a while back Thank God! And it seems as though they are working on getting better at customer support which was a major bone of contention among domainers for a long time.

    I dont think I could deal with their panel especially when working with 5000 domains. Administering them would be a complete nightmare!

    i think they are fine i dont it would be fun managing 5000 domains with any panel lol. Like i said before resellerclub.com is the best also the more you buy the cheaper prices you get

    How many domains do you have at directi/resellerclub hitboy?
    I'm just curious as using their panel it is tough to manage 1.

    With over 1000 domains panels like enoms (their new one) and Monikers make it a lot easier than having to click 3 times to do something.
    This obviously must be a huge consideration when selecting a registrar.
    Also personalized support. Directi is not knows for having the best support.

    As someone who manages over 500 names in enom and about 100 at moniker and xxx at several other registrars (don't get to choose when winning via Pool/snapnames/TDnam etc.) I am simply speaking from experince.

    The domains I had there I moved out at least I am pretty sure I have none left there. If I have less than 20 domains with a registrar I move them out to enom or Moniker.
    I will probably register more there due to the great .mobi prices.

    I would NOT do this.
    And after all of that you get domains for $6 plus icann fees.

    I have about 500 with godaddy and they seem to be ok. Renewal time is here can anyone get better than $1.99 for privacy and I think $6.95 for 1 year renewal, per domain?
