If Regfly had as many customers as GoDaddy, think how many votes they'd have...

[Rockefeller]

Alright, after almost 12 hours of voting Regfly is still in the lead. I have a feeling they are going to win this. Surprisingly Enom only has one vote.

RegisterFly.com is the absolute worst!

[GeoOwners]

1and1 is horrible to use...havn't used a more confusing domain site yet...I had a balance due on a reg from APRIL...and just found out about it last week !!! They wont send you any communication other than emails

[Rockefeller]

1and1 just pulled ahead of GoDaddy for 2nd place.

Agree about RegisterFly, however that is exactly what makes the poll results badly skewed and semi-valueless as far as serious rankings go.

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.

Sorry Trader, this is simply for fun. I wasn't planning on getting that technical.

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