Which company do you trust most?

by

Yesterday someone sent me an email with a pretty wide open question. “Raymond, which industry participant do you trust the most?”

First, I have not used every industry participant as I am sure most haven’t. So going on personal experience I guess I would say Uniregistry has been the most trustworthy for me. I am speaking purely from a registrar standpoint, I don’t use their brokers or marketplace.

So who is most trustworthy for you?

    Going to bat for Epik and Rob Monster. If I have a problem, Rob always gets back to me within 5 mins. That’s great value.

    Rob Monster and Epik.com are just the most solid industry participant. 110% effort all the time.

    I’ve had positive experiences with Uniregistry and GoDaddy but great experiences with a smaller registrar called Hello Internet (http://www.hello.co).

    I’ve had terrible experiences with 1and1 – and will blog about it sometime this year. Lost domains through transfers, copy and paste support replies that ignore the issues, constant surveys about “how well are we doing?” (doesn’t help to complete those), misinformation about transferring a domain out by moving it between their ‘contracts’ which further extended the 60 day lock period (so the sale/transfer didn’t go ahead)… so many more issues.

      The first time I uttered those words I was 6, the teacher asked my Mom, “what’s going on with him, 6 years olds don’t talk like that.”

      Of course for this exercise it does not have to be trust 100%, but who you trust the most.

      I hate to say it but I agree.

      And, who we trust today, we might not in 5 yrs.
      Everything swings like a pendulum.

      12-15 yrs ago, I totally trusted Enom.

    I trusted uniregistry until the price hike fiasco on their domain extensions occurred.

    That and support issues cropping up.

    Uniregistry is probably still the highest on my trust, but they have been slipping.
