Dynadot and tasting

[petrosc]

I hear that dynadot allows customers to delete domains within the grace period for free(unlike moniker charging $0.25 per deletion). Is there an option to do that in the control panel(because I cant find it), or do you have to contact the customer support for this?


Thanks a lot,
Petros

You'll see it when you log in

there is new domains table you can see the grace time remaining select them and delete and request for credit.

I'll pm you a screenshot.

After you login click on the "Account Area" which is top right of the page.

This will list each domain and the period left for credit.
select a domain and click on "Request Delete for Credit" Confirm and your done. It will immediately (couple of seconds) fund your account with the amount.

That's one thing I like with Dynadot: they keep it simple.
They are the opposite of godaddy.

 

[petrosc]

thanks a lot!

Yeah exactly

Thats why it's my favorite registrar

Can anyone make/transfer me a dynadot account?

 

[Rockefeller]

Sure, PM me your info Tekz or go here:

[tekz999]

Thanks Rockefeller! But we have to prepay $500 to get special pricing? Can someone create an account with special pricing without prepay? or someone can transfer me their dynadot account?

 

[Rockefeller]

The special pricing isnt really all that great anyway.

 

[tm3500]

With $5,000 in annual spending you get "super bulk pricing" at $7.25 for .coms and $5.50 for .nets which isn't all that bad considering the free deletes.

[Rockefeller]

Yeah, I've had it since they started the special pricing. It helps...I prefer dynadot over anyone else...I can't see why anyone wouldn't like them.

 

[tekz999]

The only thing is the prepaid credits cannot be withdrawn. So we have to spend all $5k at dynadot =\

 

[katherine]

Bulk pricing will save you one buck roughly. For one-shot transaction I wouldn't bother.

 

[petrosc]

The only thing is the prepaid credits cannot be withdrawn. So we have to spend all $5k at dynadot =\

bulk pricing only makes sense if you spend a lot of money on registrations, so in that case you do have to spend the $5k

Yeah, I've had it since they started the special pricing. It helps...I prefer dynadot over anyone else...I can't see why anyone wouldn't like them.

I tried them and I think I'm becoming a good customer. Tasting for free, pricing is the same as moniker's special DNF pricing (more or less) if you deposit $500, privacy protection not too expensive ($2) , I like dynadot very much... too bad it took me so long to try them

 

[wikes82]

bulk pricing gets you access to their API ... been using their API for months, and it's faster than enom or moniker.

great info, guys. thxz alot! of course icann is going to stamp out tasting. in about 5 years, hahaha.

 

[petrosc]

One more question for you guys... how do you mass modify domains in the dynadot account(except from ticking the ones you want to modify). I mean is there somewhere a box where I can paste the names I need to modify (NS changes etc) without having to go through the entire list and tick the ones I want to change?

If they dont have this important feature then how do you guys manage your Name Servers?

tekz, you can create a new free account with Dynadot, park you high traffic/paying domains within Dynadot and this should take care of the $500 thing .. they asked for the $500 to be spent in registration with them, prepaid or earned from parking, so you do NOT have to spend/prepay, just earn them in parking and you are get the Bulk Prices
Petrosc, such a feature isn't available as far as know within Dynadot, you can instead go to your full list and select all domains in account then deselect domains you don't want to edit and make bulk edits to the rest, this will do OK in case you will edit most of your domains .. otherwise, you can instead (what I personally do and prefer) organize your domains into folders based on extension/category as you like and simply go to the folder you like to edit it's domains, select all domains in it and make your bulk edit, this will take a little time in the beginning but should save more in the future!

P.S: just for your information guys if you don't know, Dynadot allows you delete domains for CREDIT and not for a REFUND .. as far as I used with Moniker, they allow to delete domains for a Refund while with Dynadot they will allow you to delete domains for Account Credit which you will HAVE to use within Dynadot on other purchase and NOT refunded to your CC/PP and you can't withdraw away in any way, just spend within their service(s)!

I am using Dynadot for about 2 years now, and so far I can say with confidence they are very good, fast, simple and yet cheap enough with Super Bulk Prices
Hope this helps any of you guys

If someone is tasting a lot there is nothing better than DynaDot
I like Moniker but I'm not tasting anymore.

GD is good for new registrations only - because of their deals.
