    Hi,
    i am looking for Best domain registrar.

    I have 4 options
    register.com
    net4.in
    namecheap.com
    name.com

    I know there was some issue with godaddy, so I dont want godaddy.

    And talking about enom , its not for me, i am not ready to spend more money

    I am thinking about name.com

    Is there anyone who had registered domain with name.com ?

    I want some reviews about name.com

    Thank you.:)

    Namecheap gets my vote.

    I have been using namecheap for about 3+ years and have never had any problems. They also have a security feature on your account. If someone tries to guess your password, after 3 or 4 failed log in attempts, your account is locked for 24 hours. One time I locked myself out and had to email support. And then I had to provide all kinds of information to prove who I was just so they would unlock my account.

    enom too expensive?

    then register a domain on namecheap and look at the whois! you'll see enom as registrar ;)

    ENOM is one of the domain reseller sellers which does not compete with it's resellers.. That's why their prices are so expensive, you can register a domain at about $10 on an enom reseller,

    I would choose none of the options in your list..

    GoDaddy is the best ;)

    Not true anymore, namecheap.com is now an ICANN accredited registrar. It's been this way for a while now. You might have seen an old registration.

    Name.com gets my vote. +1

    go with moniker if you know what you are doing with your domain is somewhat sketcy. :) i.e trademark domains.

    They are gangster when it comes to releasing domains, youve gotta love them.

    Despite the misleading ICANN logo on their front page Namecheap still registers their names thru Enom - they don't have their own backend registration systems working yet.

    Yeah you are right, I just contacted support and they told me ENOM charges them $200 to re-activate a domain name when it's under redemption period which clearly shows they are just a reseller.

    Liars, NAMECHEAP SUCKS.

    GO NAME.com

    No problem Troy, I know name.com is working on an API reseller program like godaddy because it was discussed alot during the past three months. But as far as implementing the plan, I am not sure when they will do so.

    I have never used their sub-account, to be honest.

    You can get resellership from resellerclub, but there you have to pay big amount first for initial payment.
    I am also looking for a company which provide domains for a low fees and low initial payments.
