The obvious lesson? There are many differences between registrar besides price. What good is a cheap price if you can't get timely service, no one replies to your emails, renewals don't go through or even if the registrar's own secure cert doesn't work anymore!
Is saving a buck or two on a name worth all that potential hassle?
I only have about 60 names in my portfolio, but I stick with the big names like eNom and GoDaddy. I know they're here today and will be here tomorrow. It seems the only time I've ever had problems is when I would buy an aftermarket domain and it would be regged at some cockamamie registrar. Try to get the EPP key? Maybe if you can make it through the labyrinth of screens to find the link. Or try to call and ALL you ever get is voice mail?
Sorry, my names are valuable property. Even before I got into "the business" I had no problem paying an extra couple of bucks to have that peace of mind.
Just my 2¢...
