http://name.com http://name.com I've used godaddy, namecheap, and 1&1, but ended up switching all my domains to name.com. One of the best interfaces I've used as it doesn't try to abstract the DNS records from you. That was one of my biggest issues with 1&1 and godaddy - their interface made it so that I never knew exactly what my DNS settings were, just what the spoon-fed messages that I was given told me. The only "abstracted" thing that they do is provide a one-click solution for setting the dns entries for google apps (which you can still manually edit, as they appear in your DNS records). Here's some screenshots of the backend: http://i.imgur.com/F5j5m.jpg http://i.imgur.com/F5j5m.jpg http://i.imgur.com/rx3uq.jpg http://i.imgur.com/rx3uq.jpg http://i.imgur.com/vGwwz.jpg http://i.imgur.com/vGwwz.jpg Seriously, try it. I liked them so much that I paid to have my other domains transfered to them. That alone should show you how much I enjoy it over the others I've tried.

What didn't you like about NameCheap?
- pasbesoin 16y ago
  The one thing that's started to bother me about Namecheap is that they don't maintain an https (SSL/TLS) connection during record management. My DNS entries' ownership and configuration are important to me, and I'd prefer to minimize the risk of a MITM situation. Further, I find it somewhat ironic as one of the product classes the company pushes is, obviously and prominently, authorized certificates. Also, their https connections (login, purchase) are quite often bog slow. Other than that, I like their service. I'd prefer they fix these issues, rather than finding myself compelled to move away from them.

I switched from GoDaddy to Name.com and almost cried for joy when I bought my second domain name there and it took 10 seconds as opposed to 10 minutes.

    Same for me, I hated GoDaddy. To surf their site form menu to menu it's take more time to load and why people like GoDaddy?

  And let's not forget, they don't try to sell you a bunch of products you don't care. I just want the domain!! Lol

Second name.com. I'm in the process of transferring all my domains there. Their nice clean interface is so refreshing after years of GoDaddy, they have a non-stupid domain name, they don't waste money on 'sex sells' advertising (wtf do hot chicks have to do with domain names anyway), and they don't treat you like an idiot as you describe. Win.

We've been using name.com at work and for personal use for over 2 years. Its clean, no BS, and just works. Second, it lets my boss deposit cash as name.com prepaid 'credits'; so, I can act on domain purchases/renewals without running to the accounts guy everytime. I hear namecheap does the 'credits' feature too.

The CTO of name.com, Sean Leach, is one of the most knowledgeable and industry-connected DNS guys I know. I would also highly recommend name.com
