Do you guys transfer all your domains to one registrar or use several, i buy alot of domains so have several different places who my name is reg to but find it hard to keep track of them all
Nope, I'm spread out with about 10 to 15 companies. I just stick with the cheapest from a reputable company with the different extentions I own.
well, if you buy names you wind up having names all over the place, like your saying. I don't have a whole bunch but what I do have I try to keep in one place as much as possible. So if I have a name somewhere and it's time to renew, I just transfer it to the main registrar I use. At least that's the theory...
Sure, you can do that to consolidate them. It's just when you own multiple different ccTLDs & also when different companies fun promos & you reg with them, you end up having names all over the place.
I would try and move everything to one registrar, it takes time and work but it saves loads of time in the long run, keeping track of different registrars, their systems, passwords and ways of working can quickly become very time intensive and prone to missing renewals with some registrars. Also different registrars work best in different ways, some are great at email support, some have live chat, some are better on the phone. Some are geared to bulk, some are geared to resellers, some are small and the CEO wants your business. Choose the one that works best for you and then slowly but determinedly move the names there over the weeks. If you decide to move again it will be a whole lot easier as everything will be in one place
Only prefer one register but for some tld's then it is better or an only option to use one that has it available. Some domains you purchase will need to be pushed so most domainers have accounts on most of the popular registers.
