Domain Name Registrars

(1/4) > >>

wraith808:
I have 12 domains registered with GoDaddy, and I want to switch to another registrar for a variety of reasons.

What's the best way (other than re-registering each as they expire) to transfer them wholesale to another registrar?

And can anyone recommend any other registrars?

Thanks!

don't even think about that.

Not sure what's the best way.

I can however tell you that I've been using Namecheap for the last 9 years without any pain. Lots of features, not too expensive, good customer service IMO... Your mileage may vary.

Another vote for NameCheap, they had a special around Christmas where you could transfer your domains to them for ~$3 each, (IIRC), and they threw in an extra year of registration.

wraith808:
The four I'm currently looking at are namecheap, name, 1&1, pairnic and ghandi.  The major appeal of 1&1, pairnic, and ghandi is that even though their prices are a bit more, they include privacy, instead of you having to pay extra for it.

I do see that you just end up paying for a year's extension when transferring, and can transfer them in bulk- so that part of the equation is solved.  I've just only used network solutions and godaddy, so didn't know what was a good service.  Two of them are also nameservers, but other than that, I don't have any special requirements.
