Best Domain Provider?
Who do you guys think is one of the best domain providers? I have bought probably three from 1and1.com and there service is pretty good. If you mess with the domain's DNS and stuff it takes forever though.
So what's your opinion, where should I get my next domain?

Re: Best Domain Provider?
Go Daddy is pretty common, no idea of the customer service tho..

Re: Best Domain Provider?
I would also say go with GoDaddy. I've been using them for about three years now and have never had a problem with them. Plus, they do have some of the cheapest domains around.
@CioNide: Just leave Dan a visitor message about the name change and I'm sure he will look.

Re: Best Domain Provider?
Alright, well, when I was using 1and1.com, when I went to go change the DNS settings, it took almost an hour for them to process all the way. Does GoDaddy do that?

Re: Best Domain Provider?
GoDaddy, for me is not highly not recommended. A lot of customers of it are having problems and troubles. You're lucky because you've never encountered one. :P
-
Re: Best Domain Provider?
Lol, thanks for all the tips guys.
Whoever changed my name also changed my sig and put:
"Lix - A - Lot - A - Puss?"
Lmfao.

I'd say no more than 15 minutes to update your DNS on GoDaddy, but usually less. So yeah, they have my recommendation. :-)

GoDaddy is cheap and reliable. Plus there are tons of coupons you can find by performing a simple google search, for extra cheap domains :P

Re: Best Domain Provider?
enom = rz. everything else I use godaddy, I PERSONALLY recommend godaddy!

Re: Best Domain Provider?
Why did your purchase ragezone.com from enom then?
-
Re: Best Domain Provider?
No reason, that was like 10 years ago.

Re: Best Domain Provider?
GoDaddy is bad. They have a history if really shady moves and investigations for illegal activities (such as squatting on customers domains and buying related domains and asking for insane prices, and using search history on their site to squat on popular searches, etc).
I'd recommend Namecheap (Namecheap.com - Cheap domain name registration, renewal and transfers - Free SSL Certificates - Web Hosting - Free URL Forwarding, e-mail forwarding and DNS services are included with our cheap domain names registration service), and there are other nice ones.
The entire list of accredited registrars can be found through here: ICANN | ICANN-Accredited Registrars
Find one you like, be it by price or whatever, but check the fine print and policies. You'll find a lot of places will try to screw you over.

Name servers can take anything up to 48 hours to update. It really depends on the service of the company you buy it from.

Re: Best Domain Provider?
I'd also recommend godaddy I own 3 domains on them and no problems.

And when I checked GoDaddy for pricing, they seemed reasonable. Listen to this guy, he seems legit.

Re: Best Domain Provider?
GoDaddy.com seems to be most professional and best. You can always trust them.
You can also use namecheap.com

Re: Best Domain Provider?
I can tell you from personal experience that Go Daddy is one of the most
secure and professional websites that you can purchase an domain from

I would recommend NameCheap as well in terms of price, features, and support. Besides, GoDaddy does not need your business :) They are earning enough from their crappy ads all over your parked domains. That's right.
Do not get confuse with Name.com however, their service is going downhill in my opinion - I have been given one fo the 'shittiest' support ever that took a good 4 days for them to reply. Interestingly too, their Domain CP is pretty bugged up and now they decide to charge for Private WHOIS alongside the price increase :) GOOD JOB FAGS.
If you can find a reliable and cheap NetEarthOne (NEO) reseller, do go for them. NEO is one of the best registrar I have found so far. Chris and his support team are simply fantastic! There are frequent promotions for a variety of domains as well. Although the control panel may not seem very 'fanciful' it is packed with features and tools that you would most likely require.
I would also recommend eNom (majority of commercial websites are from eNom too - eNom is extremely professional in terms of their service and support). You can also take a look at 1&1 since I have heard reasonable amounts of good reviews from them.
An interesting comparison here:

You should also take a look at Netfirms (they provide FREE WHOIS Privacy if I'm not wrong)

Re: Best Domain Provider?
Name.com is my personal choice. Free DNS, and DNS updates are instant.
-
Re: Best Domain Provider?
I'd have to say Godaddy,
Seems the most decent.

Re: Best Domain Provider?
NameCheap = .INFO & .COM ; Free WhoIS protect
Moniker = .NET (Cheap too) ; WhoIS protect is not free.
I own at least a dozen NameCheap domains, they provide Live chat as support along with email (I've never had a problem so I never actually had to e-mail or talk to em via live chat).
Moniker = I've never had a problem with them, whatsoever.

?
Remote SQL connections have to do with:
-Your Webhost
-Your VPS/Dedicated Server/Wherever the database is located.
Well, that is unless your pointing out on their web hosting services - though it's irrelevant to the current topic.

Re: Best Domain Provider?
I own 3 hostings and 5 domains with godaddy, they work awesome. Coupons are always a plus (search for godaddy coupons, some are even upto 25%) but their support fails to respond quick enough. For example we host JamaikaMu - - Estamos Para Quedarnos! there (this is no spam you noobs, the site is on spanish xD) and from time to time the website wont load. We send a ticket and when they answer back its always "your site works properly!". OFC it does, downtime was 3 hs long and you answered 7 hours later! (the downtime usually happens with 500+ users online using the website, most of the times 1500 users can be browsing with no problems.)
Other than that godaddy is perfect.
NOTICE: Be careful with this. Godaddy WILL NOT TELL YOU that you are close to using all your bandwidth. They will not mail you, panel won't tell you. The only way to know is to log in to their website and check manually. Once I updated client on my server and ended up paying 160usd extra for a few gb over the limit. Now we have unlimited bandwidth and space but it was so sad to pay 160usd for some gay gb.

I recommend only buying domains with GoDaddy. If you want good hosting go with HostGator. I've had them for three years, and I have never had problem with them, and I host a few rather large sites with them on the basic $10 hosting package, and they don't mind. So yah, I'd only use GoDaddy for domains, and not for hosting.
EDIT:
Here's my bandwidth for one of my sites this month. It may be a lot of bandwidth or not compared to how much you use.
