1and1 vs GoDaddy

**phpprince** · 09-29-2005, 07:48 PM

I've been with 1and1 before I started getting some names from godaddy.

1and1 is good because of price ($5 plus) but it seems it's easier to resell domains from godaddy because it seems everybody else has a godaddy account. domain mame sellers on eBay always mention godaddy.

should I switch all my names to godaddy or have them split?

GoDaddy's interface sucks, and it's coated in ads.

eh, I switched over 50+ domains from 1and1 to registefly.com and it was VERY painful because of 1and1. registerfly.com is a much better service.

I've got my domains between registerfly and godaddy. Sometime in the near future I'm going to be moving my most valuable domains to another registrar.

I've had quite a few problems with registerfly's interface in the past -- fortunately these issues are fixed now.

I gradually moving all my domains to registerfly - its a breath of fresh air compared to GoDaddy.

What sort of problems did you have Cutter, and how long ago were they?

The only thing irking me about registerfly at the moment is their PayPal system is down (being 'revamped' or some ****). You can pay with paypal if you send them a support ticket, but who really wants the hassle?

Does anyone use namecheap.com ?

Yeah too right, I hate their interface so I don't buy through them anymore.

I use namecheap. Cheap domains and love their interface. And you get free private whois for a year. I don't know what they're like for selling/transferring though.

I use them, and I haven't had any problems so far.

When I first started using them, just about a year ago. There were issues with things not getting added to the shopping cart, so I'd log in to buy some domains and then end up making like 3 orders. Sucks for them, the credit card fees probably killed their profit margins

Does registerfly offer whois privacy, if yes how much does it cost?

**r2d2** · 09-30-2005, 07:50 AM

Yes they do, its 99c per year

**Cutter** · 09-30-2005, 11:00 AM

That was actually the #1 reason why I switched from GoDaddy, which charges something like $10 a year.

godaddy is the best domain site, but I dont have alot of domains so I dont mind the $10

**James** · 09-30-2005, 03:07 PM

godaddy is the best domain site

Completely unsupported. Provide some evidence. So far I can see nothing that says it's the best, or even better than the other large domain name registrars.
