    Godaddy! Steady, rock solid service for years. Reasonably priced products and reliable hosting. I give them an A+

    The best registrars is Godaddy. I have sold some domains and buyers always asked to transfer the domains to Godaddy. Escrow.com is also reliable, easy and secure. I haven’t found a reliable aftermarket till now. Best hosting company is also Godaddy.

    Without a doubt the most trusted company in the domain industry is GoDaddy…..It’s customer service rocks on all levels. Call, email or message for great personalized service. Have a question or concern on the domain forum NamePros? They are there too…..Generally, public companies have a bureaucratic process that kills customer service, that is absolutely not the case with GoDaddy…..(Thank you Jonathan L. for your dedication)

    Godaddy. First and foremost. Before I started with domains sedo afternic flippa uni registry np mann schilling and all the others meant nothing to me.

    Never heard of them before buying my first domain, but I have known about Danica Patrick for years.
    So my first domain was with godaddy and I haven’t strayed too far away.

    Just goes to show the power of advertising. Nowadays, I know the other companies but godaddy was my first.

    I trust my favorite registrar Name.com before it was DomainSite.com back in 2005 when I got my first domain name. I also Godaddy and Uniregistry since I haven’t had any problems with them as for hosting I would pick Hostgator they provided me with good hosting several times in the past.

    There’s a few more companies that I trust I always go back to because they gave me good service.

    Been using NameCheap for my personal domains for 10+ years and haven’t had a problem once. They get knocked for their poor customer service, yet every time I’ve ever needed help, they answered my question ASAP

    I personally have a good experience with namecheap, dropping.
    Godaddy I do not trust at all they always want to sell me extra products in a sneaky way and I have to be very careful not renew domain for many years instead of one year.

    I cannot believe but I see one person put here Uniregistry, actually i should not be surprised because he is using .xyz extension.

  18. Rich says

    Overall from start to finish Godaddy, Uniregistry took a credibility hit, we are consolidating out portfolio from the stragglers at moniker name cheap name netsol etc.. and were pushing to uniregistry, but will divert to godaddy now after Frank’s actions today. I feel he misled alot of people, and just lost some trust with them for that.

    I know lots of registry partners are angry, as they marketed these products to their customers, and now they have to deal with the customer service end of explaining a 3000% price increase.

    Persons—Raymond Hackney and Rob Monster .
    Registrar –Epik.com
    Seems to me not many fellow domainers have experienced EPIK.com
    The sleeping giant is awakening ,

  33. Michael Marquardt says

    Am surprised I have not yet seen CSC referenced here. For corporate domain portfolios, it’s not even close in my opinion. CSC’s Digital Brand Services is by far the one I trust the most.

    namePros.com, they are always transparent and provide so many services for free. They appear to be the least greedy in the industry and that’s why I trust them the most.
