First, far more votes are needed with I believe a minimum of 30 randon votes per firm firm to be statistically valid. Then the votes should be multiplied by a factor based on total registrations they have. That way a relatively small place like Safenames would rank much worse than now indicated. It would also make GoDaddy appear significantly better than it appears since they are so huge.

I vote for RegFly. Can't renew names with their buggy control panel, no response to support tickets for days. | |
