Has anyone used this registrar? What are they like?

Just registered a .info there. Looking around they have a great admin side for domain management. You can also pay with paypal if you choose, and their prices seem very reasonable. I even see that they have a customer service number for my city!

So far so good.

It's called name.com but they can not host .name domains.

Actually they can, but it's useless since there is no way to change nameservers for .name domains.

Support is not responding to my emails!

They use to be good, and have some nice ideas, but realization...

Name.com and Name.net are both just domainsite.com

Yes, they are all sister companies. Not many people know this and we don't advertise it -- but we don't mean for it to be a secret.

Just to note: name.com and Domainsite have a similar interface (which we tried to make as simple and intuitive as possible), and both of them are giving away Google Apps on domain names now (super inexpensive, really easy to use). It's pretty fun -- worth trying out...

Sorry if you had trouble managing your .name domain at name.com.... Sometimes name servers get quirky with unusual TLDs -- as you probably know, we need to add them to the registry first so that your domain "recognizes" them. On occasion there might be a connection problem between name.com or domainsite.com and the registry, but that's rare... Regardless, if you write support an email they should fix the issue within 24 hours, as the post from last year mentions, we are open to suggestions... Thanks!
