Hey all,
I'm just wondering who you all use primarily for your domains? I.e. your first choice registrar?

I've always been pro-Moniker, although obviously that option is looking risky now (am staying with them for the short term, to see how things play out). eNom have just cocked things up major time too, and GoDaddy are... well.. GoDaddy.

I know no company can be perfect, but who do you use/recommend?

Thanks,
Tristan
 
I have many of my domains at Moniker, but due to recent events experienced first hand, I'm considering moving them. Same with all the domains I have at eNom, for various reasons including the recent high profile hijack news, and their tendency to indiscriminately hand over domains to the US government...
I have some at Dynadot too, and thought that was good, but some recent events regarding one of my domains has caused me to rethink that too...
So I'm pondering where to move it all. Currently I'm leaning towards Rebel.com, one major reason is that they are outside the US, but would like some feedback from users having first-hand experience with them.
 
GoDaddy, Moniker, Name.com
 
Moniker has always been my first and only choice, but man, after the most recent events reported here, I'm really tripping out!
 
enom - first choice

I've had problems with enom, too - just curious why you like them best, Don?

I've been using godaddy because they seem reliable at least, though I'd love to find a place that charges less.
 
Enom easy management of domains

godaddy but known to some issues too, nodaddy.com

Sometimes moniker waiting to improve their interface.

Mostly Moniker. Their customer service lag time is high. Once you get hold of them, they are very good and reasonably fast.

The rest at Godaddy. Their custom service response time is very good (particularly via phone), but if you have a real problem, their service reps often have difficulty solving it.

I suppose if I were a big corporation, I would use MarkMonitor.
 
Dynadot (mostly), Fabulous, Name.com
 
For those concerned about protecting your domain assets, we recently implemented some additional levels of security. More information can be found here.

Cheers,

Mike
Fabulous.com
 
Fabulous (really appreciate the new whois privacy Mike!) and Tucows/OpenSRS for alt TLDs
 
Right now about 90% with GoDaddy and about 10% w/ Moniker (plus a couple of other domains with other / no name registrars).

I'm currently transferring my good and used domains from GD to Moniker.
 
I have and will always use Domainsite.com.
