Ask YC: Who's your favorite domain registrar and why?

49 点作者 pius大约 17 年前
Recently I've been hearing my registrar (GoDaddy.com) getting slammed for domain stealing and other horrors. Though I've never been affected, I figure it's a good idea to become knowledgeable about other best-in-breed services. Can anyone recommend other domain registrars that are great for managing large numbers of domains?

I've been using Namecheap.com for years and they've never failed me.

I currently use Godaddy but I'm moving to nearlyfreespeech.net. Why? Because Godaddy has a horrible track record of shutting people's sites down over frivolous complaints (go see <a href="http://nodaddy.com/" rel="nofollow">http://nodaddy.com/</a> ) and NFS.net has a really awesome track record: <a href="https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/about/background.php" rel="nofollow">https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/about/background.php</a>

I started using GoDaddy when it was fairly new, and even though their prices have risen since, I've never bothered to switch. They make private registration very easy, and even though they spam the hell out of you during the purchasing process, I still just can't drag myself away.<p>Domain names are so cheap that it isn't worth it to me to risk shenanigans in an attempt to save $2 or $3.

I have an account at Dynadot. I was an early Dotster user when they were the best alternative to Network Solutions, and then an early user of GoDaddy for many years now. Now, I think Dynadot is the best, and you should, too. :)<p>It has a clean user interface and even lower prices than Godaddy. If you deposit $500, you get an API and even cheaper prices.<p>They also have "domain tasting" for everybody for 5 days, which means you get a full refund for your domain name in that time period. Therefore, you can register domain names and cancel them later if you change your mind. I've lost a lot of domain names where I hesitated registering them for a few days.<p>Oh, and their domain privacy is only $2. It doesn't obfuscate your name, just all of the other parts. However, they can forward physical mail sent to the domain's private address to you, though I'm not sure what the cost of that is.<p>If you do choose to use Godaddy, always buy with their 20% off coupons found on Google if you're renewing. If you're registering a new domain, simply google "Godaddy" and then enter by clicking their ad on the search results of Google. That will give you 6.95 pricing instead of the 9.99 they currently charge--that's $3.04 cheaper per year per domain!

I use EasyDNS. They're expensive, but reliable and never do anything evil.

Definitely Gandi (<a href="http://www.gandi.net/whowe/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gandi.net/whowe/</a>), I've been there for almost 10 years.<p>It's not too expensive and they have a very nice web interface to manage multiple domains (different edition modes, zone versioning system, free primary/secondary DNS). They're also hosting and helping several OpenSource projects.

I use Google's thing:<p><a href="http://www.google.com/a/cpanel/domain/new" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/a/cpanel/domain/new</a><p>Since it's only $10, works well, and I get all their apps and other junk with it.

NearlyFreeSpeech (<a href="http://nearlyfreespeech.net" rel="nofollow">http://nearlyfreespeech.net</a>). Slightly more expensive, but given their track record and their attitude toward web hosting, you can be pretty sure they're trustworthy.

DirectNIC. They kept their systems up during Hurricane Katrina.<p><a href="http://katrinahelp.info/wiki/index.php/DirectNIC" rel="nofollow">http://katrinahelp.info/wiki/index.php/DirectNIC</a>

Name.com. I'm surprised noone's mentioned them. $5.99 domains. Free private registration. Easy interface. Account credit balances for really easy domain regging from an iPhone. I've transferred everything I had on Joker over to them b/c it's 1/2 the cost.

I've been using DynDNS ( <a href="http://dyndns.com" rel="nofollow">http://dyndns.com</a> ). They have slightly higher prices than registrars such as GoDaddy, but I trust their brand more and haven't encountered any behavior that looks suspicious. Also, I used to host my websites from home via a cable modem, and their free dynamic IP address services worked very well.<p>To be honest, I haven't ever considered switching; Has anyone switched to or from DynDNS and have an anecdote about their experience to share?

Results returned from whois.publicinterestregistry.net: " If anyone's dns people were going to be threatened, it would be their's. Wonder if you can reserve your own name at other company's so if it is revoked or expires, it is automatically registered to you at a different place.

I've used joker.com for the last 4-5 years. Free DNS, mail and url forwarding, etc., too.

Not directly related but anyone using Webhostingbuzz.com for hosting and domain names? it's quite slow but their shared hosting solution is one of the cheapest one around.. :o)

I've been using gandi.net for roughly a year and haven't had any trouble. They don't offer bargain prices, but they're not the most expensive either.

I've used domainsite for many years. They've had a couple of annoying email outages, but other than that they've been pretty solid.

I've been using Dotster for about 4 years now and they are fine. Make sure to search for discount coupons...

netfirms.com used to do registrations for 4.95 and I was an affiliate that got $2 commissions on domain reg so I would essentially get $2.95 domain reg.

I'm using Dreamhost. They are cheap and easy.

AVOID DREAMHOST like the plague they will never release your domain, unless you know how to swim backwards across the Atlantic.
