Ask YC:Domain Registration?

2 pointsawad17 years ago6 comments

I'm not too happy with GoDaddy constantly trying to upsell me on just about every damn action I take on that cluttered site. Though, that call a week ago regarding my recently renewed domains was a nice gesture, I still find them overall to be too in your face. What do the folks here use for domain registration?

Namecheap seems to be a popular choice.

I just can't be bothered to move from godaddy and have to reset everything up (eg, DNS) - are domain migrations instant?

It takes a couple hours for the DNS to switch over, but overall it's pretty painless.

I cannot agree with you more, I use namecheap they do put some crap in your face but it's nowhere near godaddys.

I use nearlyfreespeech.net; but I recently started looking at gandi.net...

moniker is nice.
