What company is your favorite domain name registrar?
I used to use GoDaddy but then transferred a lot of my domains to Namecheap. Namecheap is good but I am starting to like namesilo (https://www.namesilo.com/) more and more and plan to transfer domains there as they come up for renewals. Their prices seem to be the best, they don't play "games", and their web interface, while it might look a bit dated, is functional and fast (which is "refreshing" these days).
Feel free to share your thoughts about who you use and how you like them!

Re: Best domain name registrar
Following your post, a few months ago, I've registered a domain with namesilo.com -- no problems.
Now, I'm planning to transfer bulk of my domains to namesilo.com from name.com.

Great. So far I've had no problems with namesilo.com either and also plan to migrate more of my domains to them as they come up for renewal.

Re: Best domain name registrar
I wanted to update this post/thread. I am still using namesilo and have not had any problems with them. I am consolidating all of my domains with them.
I even sold a domain name through them and the commission was only 3% (but can go up to 7.5% I think).
At this point I would highly recommend namesilo.com if you're looking for a domain registrar.

Re: Best domain name registrar
Thanks for this post.
Do they only renew a year at a time or can you pay for multiple years?
Do you have any experience with Domains.com? Comments about them?

Re: Best domain name registrar
Hi Mike,
Funny you should ask. I just renewed some domain names on namesilo.com today (well technically it was yesterday now that it's 00:23 the next day ). You can certainly renew for more than one year if you want.
I do not have any experience with Domains.com.

Re: Best domain name registrar
I picked up a couple of things about GoDaddy recently. I haven't examined them in detail, but you might want to look more deeply. (I'm not entirely sure what's going on.)
- GoDaddy, Certificate revocation took longer than it ought to have and seems to have not been done very well: You need to read it closely, if interested, here's a tweet stream: https://twitter.com/Scott_Helme/status/ ... 4831758337
- Also GoDaddy, may have been involved, in some way, in a "Canadian Pharmacy" type operation. (I haven't taken the time to unravel exactly what's going on here, and the author hasn't got it all figured out, nevertheless seems concerning.) https://victorymedium.com/godaddy-glob ... njections/
