Domain Registrars
When you invest in domain names you will need a good registrar. After all registering domain names is what you do and the cost of doing this could very likely be your main expense. So finding a good registrar is crucial. Domain registration service is a very competitive business and the supply is countless, but what makes a registrar a good registrar?
First of all domain registration should be cheap, with so many companies out there the competition makes finding a cheap registrar a bit easier, but still prices varies as much as 7 to 15 $ for the same product. Second a registrar should be reliable and willing to protect your domains from theft and such. The support system is also an important factor to consider, dealing with domains can sometimes be a confusing matter and a good support system to back you up is indeed valuable. Godaddy is currently the biggest registrar with more than 27 million registered domains in their portfolio. This is perhaps not a coincidence, at least not in my opinion, Godaddy offers one of the industry’s cheapest registration costs (currently: use coupon code DNF2) and takes good care of your domains. One thing I personally feel Godaddy does better than the competition is the ability to make bulk changes. When you have several hundred or even thousands of domains in your portfolio and you need to change nameservers for all your domains it would cost you several days of pure type-in work. With Godaddy you select the domains and make the change once for all of them. The worst thing about Godaddy is the many ads and offers you WILL have to consider using them. Before checking out Godaddy tries to make you buy as much as possible which is really quite annoying, but as soon as you get used to the design and know where to find the “no thanks continue to check out” button you are good to go. I guess this is what makes them so cheap… Anyhow Godaddy is my preferred registrar and I have no problem recommending them to others. Moniker and Enom are also top notch registrars if you need a less clutter (bit) more expensive registrar.
