[actnow]

DCG got involved and got the problem solved within minutes.

Thanks.

I wish these companies would put more effort into bringing down the renewal prices...

 

[actnow]

DCG got everything corrected.

Thanks.

What abuse?

I explained to the guy at Godaddy what was going on.
But, do you think he would take care of it?

NO.

DCG got the problems corrected.

Do you have a godaddy account rep? They can usually offer pretty good deals...

Otherwise godaddy has a domain discount club...where you pay like $80/year and you get great prices...I think best in the industry if you have a lot of domains that would offset the $80 fee.

The thing about godaddy is if you sit back and let them screw you...they happily will....if you take charge with them, they offer the best pricing IMO.

Once, again. DCG got everything corrected and on-course.

Thanks.

Give me a day to get this recified.

DCG is now on the case.

Otherwise, I lock them up with registrars with tighter controls.

Actnow, I'm sorry to be slightly off topic but since I'm looking for registrars with tight controls for more valuable domains, I were just wondering which registrars with tighter controls you were referring to?

Thanks in advance for your reply and I wish you a great day.
Sincerely,

Many of the major registrars are somewhat secure.

Higher the value of the domain, more chance it could be hijacked.

There are 3 major ways hijackers could gain control of your registrar acct and then your domains.

1. keystroke/spyware. Getting access to your email acct and/or registrar acct.
2. using the same data (acct name & password) at many of your accts.
(registrars, forums, email accts, etc.)
3. Social engineering. Talking there way into your acct.

The most secure would be Moniker. Fab. also offers a special* service to prevent a domain from being transferred out.
*Fab. or others can give you more details.

What you don't want to do is keep a "very valuable" domain in some of the registrars that are also in the auction business. (Netsol, Enom, etc.)
Yes, Moniker is in the auction business. But, I haven't heard any horror stories about
Moniker putting a domain into auction because the whois was not correct.

Or, set up your own private registrar.
However, there are a few things you have to be careful about.

That is a quick overview.
The topic deserves its own discussion thread.

Actnow, thanks so much for your indepth reply. I appreciate it!

I actually did start a new thread for the subject to not hijack your thread further. I called the thread "Registrar with best security for valuable domains" and placed it in the "Domain Registration Discussion" section of Dnforum.
I quoted your excellent answer in the thread and posted a followup question to it for you regarding what things I should be careful about.
Let me know if you don't want me to quote you and I will remove your quote immediately from the thread.

Thanks once again for the great reply!

Sincerely,
JED
