- How is 1and1.com as a registrar? Other low cost registrars?
- Posted by jj on March 26th, 2006
They charge $5.99/yr for .com, .org, .net.
I assume they do this at a slight loss to draw business for their
hosting operation.
I heard not so great things about the hosting side of 1and1 and am
curious how the registrar side is?
I'm looking to bail on registerfly.com as their error rate is creeping
up (like saying I am transfering a domain when I just renew one)
I'm considering godaddy.com and namecheap.com
Any others to consider?

I would recommend GoDaddy. Low cost, good service.

I'm also with Registerfly. I can't even renew a domain name without an
error. Although, they don't have any problems charging my credit card
though - they do that first! Then they sent me an email telling me my credit
card has been charged but there was an error renewing my domain. No solution
to the problem, just the fact there was a problem.
When I called them, the guy on the phone told me that they were having a
problem assorbing another company they just bought out. His voice had that
*I only work here and don't give a shit* sound. I told him I'd had the same
problem renewing another domain name. That was over two months ago. He then
changed the subject.
I have about ten good names with them. I'm worried, I want out. I get the
impression there are serious internel problems or something else more
serious with this company.
I'm not sure where to head to, suggestions also appreaciated.
Thanks
K

I use 1and1 and they are very good, I have been with them since 2001,
(registrar and hosting), and they are very good.
Their servers are in Germany.
I also use registerfly.com, (when domains are pushed to my account), but I
transfer my account as soon as practical. They are by far the worst 'big'
registrar.
godaddy is also very good but their control panel is a bit of a pain to use
IMHO.

No major problems with the technical side of 1and1.com although their
support is a bit goofy. They know what they are doing but don't seem to be
able to convey that information to their clients. My biggest complaint is
you read their FAQ and web site instructions send in a specific question and
get a link to the FAQ in response.
I do have problems with their auto renew process as we've a number of
accounts we manage that need to use a specified CC for the renewal and they
are ALWAYS using the wrong credit card account.

Agreed. It's a couple bucks more than $5.99 (not much more), but unless
you have thousands of domains, I can't see any reason to skimp...

I love the service I get from 1and1. I purchase my domains through
them, and host with them. I have Never had a bit of problem and their
support is awsome.

I've been reading up on Registerfly, Godaddy, NameCheap and 1and1 and
the winner is....
NameCheap
It had the fewest complaints by far but is $8.88/yr
Anyone have any history with:
AitDomains.com $6.49/yr
DomainSite.com $6.99/yr basic $7.99/yr full
BlazeDomains.com $6.99/yr
These are some of the places I looked. (Man, has Google Groups become
lame or what?)
www.midano.com
www.namepros.com
www.webhostingtalk.com
Word on the info highway seems to be if you have domains at
registerfly, move em now!
Thanks Jay

Why do you say that? What is the worse that could happen?
Don't you think we would have time to act?
