Ask HN: Who is the best registrar for high-value domains today?
Hi everyone.
We bought several high-value domains for our new project, after quite some negotiation with the sellers (being first timers on this was a quite an experience, but this story will have wait for another time).
We now are looking for a reliable registrar to host the domains. Currently we are customers of GoDaddy, but following the elephantycide fiasco we thinking of using somebody else services.
Can anyone suggest a good, secure and non-bloated registrar, that can get the job done?
I checked out moniker.com, but following posts here on HN it seems that after the company was bought by Oversee, the service quality has dropped (as it unfortunately happens too often).
Thanks!
- braindead_in 15y agoNamecheap would be one. Have been using it for over two years now after someone recommended it on HN.
- Sigma11 15y agoAre these guys reliable? Not to prejudice only by name, but the word "cheap" makes me a bit nervous.
- Sigma11 15y agoAlso, the following reviews doesn't look too encouraging: http://www.webhostingreviews.com/namecheap-reviews.htm http://www.webhostingreviews.com/namecheap-reviews.htm
- Jem 15y agoThose reviews are for hosting, not domain registration. I've been with namecheap for a couple of years and they are excellent. Much better control panel than godaddy, easier to transfer in and out, etc.
