What do you pay for dot com?

[Bec]

Wondering what everyone is paying for their dot coms ... and what registry service/site you're using.

I use godaddy.com ... I like the fact all of my domains are under one account, I can bulk manage them if needed ... and they run sales like the one they have going now ... $7.95 for a new dot com domain name.

We use Joker.com since Lee used them in the UK.

I use Directnic since I've been friends with the guys at Intercosmos for as long as I've been in the biz.

Joker charges $11 and Directnic charges $15.

And occasionally when we promote directnic on our smaller resource sites, we make some extra credits to use on domains. Nothing huge, but still something.

I like the management tools we get on Directnic, too. But I was with them before they were good LOL (Billy is going to kick me for that one LOL)

My best,
Gary

I use DirectNic, too. Sure they are more expensive... but you can trust them, unlike godaddy.

What do you mean by "unlike godaddy?" - I've used them for over 6 years without a problem.

I use cheapestregistry.com, its an enom reseller and the guy who runs it, Eric, gives top notch service.

cheers,

I've heard horror stories about godaddy pulling peoples domains for spam with just 1 unsubstantiated claim and other stuff like that. Search GFY for relevant threads.

I have to admit i have heard stories like that too from threads on other boards as well as individuals i know personally.

I have to admit though, i did find the... GFY and relevant being mentioned in the same line amusing

i use directnic. unlike godaddy, they have weekend support. $15 isn't much, and the user interface at directnic is very easy to use.

also i know a couple people whose domains were accidentally given to other people by godaddy - and they weren't exactly speedy in fixing this problem. to be fair, it was days, not weeks till the problem was fixed, and i know more people whose domains were hijacked through internic/netsol than any other registrar.

any company can make a mistake, but godaddy isn't there when the mistakes are made on fridays or weekends, and they and nic are the only two registrars that i know of (i'm sure there are others) who have been the registrars in domain hijackings.
